Didier Dagueneau's Pur Sang Blanc Fumé de Pouilly 2018 hails from a legendary Pouilly Fumé estate, now expertly managed by Louis Benjamin Dagueneau, who continues to uphold and even surpass his father Didier's extraordinary standards. The domaine is renowned for its pioneering biodynamic farming practices, exceptionally low yields, and the distinctive use of oak barrels for aging, a method uncommon in the appellation at the time. The 2018 vintage is noted for being richer and denser than its 2017 counterpart, showing increased weight and vibrant character with bottle age. This Sauvignon Blanc is primarily sourced from the esteemed La Folie vineyard. Tasting notes reveal a wine that is richer and denser, offering proper lemon, a lean mineral profile, medium-high acidity, and a medium body. It often presents with less of the typical grassy notes, culminating in a long, rich finish. Other descriptors include lemon zest, sassafrass, crispness, crab apple, bitter almond, and raw sugarsnap pea. A faint nose of tropical fruits like guava and honeydew melon, honey, and the signature smoky flint character are also present. The palate is precise, with good tension and a powerful minerality that beautifully highlights the fruit. Expect notes of minerals, stone, smoke, citrus, green apple, and subtle oak. 🍴 Food Pairing: This versatile white wine pairs wonderfully with vegetarian dishes, spicy cuisine, and various goat's milk cheeses. 🥂 Event Suggestion: The 2018 Pur Sang is a wine that can continue to age gracefully, making it a superb choice for special occasions or as an intriguing palate cleanser during a sophisticated wine tasting event. It's also a delightful way to celebrate festive moments. 【Ultimate Sauvignon Blanc experience】
