Winemaker:Domaine Didier Dagueneau
Blanc Fumé de Pouilly was the traditional name for the Sauvignon Blanc of the hamlet of Saint Andelain, so named for the smokiness imparted by the flint soils. Known as Blanc Etc. at Domaine Didier Daguenau (which is based in Saint Andelain), this wine incorporates younger-vine fruit from Dagueneau’s single vineyards. Pale lemon-gold colour, aromas are piercing and fresh, recalling cut lime and mineral smokiness. Palate is full, creamy and rounded, having generosity as well as elegant structure. The finish is super-clean and long (for drinking 2024-2027+).

Winemaker
Domaine Didier Dagueneau
Domaine Didier Dagueneau dramatically stands apart from other producers in the Loire Valley. Born and raised in the Pouilly village of Saint-Andelain, Didier established his estate in the 1980s, and quickly made a name for himself as one of the world’s most innovative and unconventional winemakers. He was driven to produce wines of the highest possible quality, pushing the boundaries with Sauvignon Blanc. Today the domaine is run by Didier’s son, Louis-Benjamin, who, with winemaker Jean-Philippe Agisson, continues to combine biodynamic principles, extremely low yields, lees contact and oak ageing to give Sauvignons that are like no others. These wines stand alone for their richness, depth of flavour, intensity and potential to age magnificently. We are thrilled to have a direct relationship with the domaine, from whom we have been shipping since 2019.
