Tasting Notes

This is a taut, concentrated expression of Sauvignon Blanc, combining orchard fruit and citrus with flint, chalk and a firm line of acidity. There is intensity here, but also the precision and length that distinguish Dagueneau from more conventional examples of the variety.

About Domaine Didier Dagueneau

Widely acclaimed as a legendary force in the Loire Valley, this family-run estate continues to honour the extraordinary legacy of its late founder, Didier Dagueneau. Specialising in world-class Sauvignon Blanc, they craft exceptionally expressive bottles that seamlessly balance an effortless, striking focus with a vibrant, high-energy sophistication.

About Loire Valley

The Loire Valley stretches across a wide sweep of France and is defined by variety, structure and strong regional identity. In the east, Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé are known for precise Sauvignon Blanc with a consistently complex and ageworthy profile. Moving west, Vouvray showcases the versatility of Chenin Blanc across dry sparkling and long-lived styles. Anjou and Saumur offer a mix of Chenin-based whites and structured reds, while Saumur-Champigny is recognised for particularly refined Cabernet Franc with real ageing potential. Further toward the coast, Chinon specialises in quality red wines, and the Nantais delivers classic Muscadet, known for its clarity and ability to pair with seafood. The Loire remains one of France’s most diverse and reliably characterful regions.
