2019 Domaine Didier Dagueneau Pouilly Fume Blanc Fumé

Didier Dagueneau is world-renowned French winemaker who left his mark on the Pouilly-Fumé. He passed away in 2008, but his son Benjamin, who had been in the company with his father for years, took over the company with the same passion and talent. Every wine lover knows the beautiful Pouilly-Fumé's of Domaine Dagueneau. They are among the best and most sought after Sauvignon Blanc wines and are on the menu of every serious star restaurant. The rolls royce under the Pouilly Fumé. We can only get a few bottles of this. This is for the simple reason that only a very limited number of bottles are produced and this is then distributed among all the top top wine merchants all over the world. This is already the situation with the Blanc Fumé de Pouilly, but even more extreme with the Buisson Renard and Silex by Didier Dagueneau

There is like nothing mundane about the 'basic' Dagueneau cuvée, the Vineyard of the Blanc Fume de Pouilly. This is the only cuvée where the vineyard is located on two soil types - Marne chalk and silex. The Fume Blanc is a rare expression of minerality and fruit in combination with maturity. One immediately recognizes the signature of this great Pouilly Fumé with notes of citrus on the nose and deep intensity on the palate. The wine has a velvety mouthfeel and a great crispy full aftertaste. These wines only get more beautiful with age.
