Domaine Didier Dagueneau Blanc Fume De Pouilly Sauvignon Blanc

The Blanc Fumé de Pouilly is the only cuvee produced by the domain which is a blend of different parcels from vines between 10-25 years old. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Eric Asimov, in his obituary of the late Didier Dagueaneau in the The New York Times, seemed to sum it up well: 'Tasting a Dagueneau wine for the first time was a revelation. His Sauvignon Blancs had an unexpected purity and clarity to them. The flavors were intense but nuanced. It wasn’t the fruit that was piercing, as in so many Sauvignon Blancs, but the freshness and the focus. As powerful a personality as he was, his wines did not exalt the stature of the winemaker so much as the beauty of the terroir.'"
