FEATURES
The 2014 Didier Dagueneau Pur Sang Blanc Fumé de Pouilly is a Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, France. This wine is produced primarily from a vineyard north of Saint Andelain called La Folie, and is arguably the domaine's most popular cuvée. The 2014 vintage is drinking beautifully at ten years of age, showcasing a deep, complex, and fresh bouquet. It wafts from the glass with a complex blend of gooseberry, lime, fresh-mown grass, flinty minerality, citrus peel, and orange blossoms. On the palate, it is crisp, complex, wide open, and full-bodied, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent soil signature, zesty acids, and impeccable balance, leading to a long, vibrant, and gently grassy finish. 【 Shockingly youthful for an 11-year-old wine, with layers of citrus, orchard fruit, and smoky minerality 】. Some tasters note rainwater purity, salted limes, and quince paste, blossoming with air to reveal exotic fruits and florals like gooseberry, lemongrass, and mango, alongside crushed rock and talc minerality. It is described as elegant rather than powerful.
Food Pairing: This Upper Loire White wine is a heavenly match for pork, shellfish, vegetarian dishes, spicy food, and goat's milk cheese.
Event Suggestions: An excellent choice for a sophisticated lunch, a seafood feast, or an evening of fine dining. Its complexity and vibrant acidity make it suitable for discerning palates and special occasions.
