The 2007 Didier Dagueneau Pouilly Fume Buisson Renard hails from a generally good vintage for wine, though France experienced a topsy-turvy growing season with a hot April followed by a drab summer. This particular vintage holds special significance as it represents one of the last fully produced by the legendary Didier Dagueneau himself, a winemaker renowned for his exceptional Sauvignon Blancs. 【A highly aromatic and complex Sauvignon Blanc from the legendary Didier Dagueneau, representing one of his final vintages.】 This white wine displays a bright yellow color and a highly aromatic nose that combines notes of lemongrass, tangerine, quinine, honey, and flint. On the palate, it is rich on entry, then densely packed, juicy, and almost austere, with distinctly imploded flavors of candied citrus, ginger, quinine, and smoky minerals. Despite its density, it shows no excess fat, finishing minerally, vibrant, and long, with potent acidity and terrific verve. Other tasting notes highlight a magnificent aroma with flint, ripe citrus fruit, unripe tropical fruit, and ripe lime, complemented by the acidity of unripe pineapple. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions lean towards Meaty and Oily Fish, such as salmon, mackerel, swordfish, monkfish, and tuna. 🥂 While Bettane et Desseauve suggested a drinking window of 2010 to 2017, user notes indicate it can still be drinking beautifully now. This sophisticated white is ideal for a special dinner, a significant celebration, or a focused tasting of fine Sauvignon Blancs. As a 2007 vintage, it should be handled with care, ensuring the cork is in good condition. While decanting is not typical for white wines, a brief aeration might help it express its full complexity. Serve chilled, but not overly cold, to allow its nuanced aromas to shine.
