Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Josh Raynolds
Light greenish-gold color. Complex, ripe aromas of citrus fruits, mango, smoky minerals and dried flowers. Broad, fat and strikingly powerful, with underlying minerality giving spine to the sweet orange and mineral flavors. Gains flesh and power with air and finishes with a whiplash of dusty minerals.
About the Producer
Domaine Didier Dagueneau is based in the small village of Saint-Andelain in the heart of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation and is the source of some of the most singular wines of the world. The vineyards are farmed using biodynamic methods and yields are kept extremely low. On average, one worker per hectare is employed to care for the vines throughout the year. The soils are tilled, sometimes using horses, to encourage roots to grow deep in their underlying terroirs. When vines need to be replanted, there is extreme care to select only low-vigor rootstock and the best massal selection cuttings to graft.When the time is right, the harvest is carried manually throughout the vineyards.
