Didier Dagueneau, Pur Sang Blanc Fume De Pouilly, 2016
The 2016 Didier Dagueneau Pur Sang Blanc Fumé de Pouilly is a highly acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, known for its exceptional quality and unique expression of terroir. Didier Dagueneau was a pioneer in producing single-parcel Sauvignon Blancs, and his son Louis-Benjamin has continued this meticulous approach, maintaining the legendary style. The 2016 vintage of Pur Sang is described as stunning, soft, and light-touched with balanced acidity. It offers a pronounced and developing nose with ripe gooseberry, honeydew melon, lemon, cut grass, dried herbs, flint, crushed stone, and white flowers. Reviewers note its distinct minerality, softer acids, and a unique character that sets it apart from other Sauvignon Blancs. Some detect summer floral fragrance and lemon peel, while others mention tropical notes. 【Unparalleled purity and complexity in Sauvignon Blanc】. This wine is surprisingly youthful for its age, with great complexity and concentration, and can be enjoyed now or over the next couple of years. It is often compared to a great white Burgundy in its depth and density. Serve chilled, around 10-12°C. This sophisticated white wine is perfect for special occasions, fine dining, or as a contemplative drink. It pairs beautifully with fish, shellfish, vegetarian dishes, spicy food, and goat's milk cheese.
