The 2021 Didier Dagueneau XXI is a highly anticipated and rare white wine from Pouilly-Fumé, Loire Valley. Due to an extremely challenging and low-yielding season in 2021, marked by frost and significant rot, Didier Dagueneau made the exceptional decision to produce only one cuvée, the XXI, blending all of his renowned single parcels that would typically be bottled separately. This makes the 2021 XXI a unique and collectible expression of the vintage. The estate, founded by Didier Dagueneau, is celebrated for producing singular, complex, and age-worthy Sauvignon Blancs, with his son Louis-Benjamin continuing this legacy. Tasting notes describe a silky yet mouthwatering expression, with prominent gooseberry and elderflower on the nose, complemented by green apples and a tangy sense of refreshment on the bright finish. It reflects the cooler side of the vintage with good grip and decent concentration. Other notes include clean, subtle flavors of wet flint, orchards, lemon rind, lemongrass, and chalk, with bracing acidity. It's also noted for racy, vibrant, and saline characteristics with intensely focused flavors of crisp citrus, pome fruits, and fresh garden herbals, supercharged with acidity and deep chalky minerality. This wine is considered worthy of long-term cellaring. Food pairings that complement this wine's brightness, lush flavors, and deep minerality include grilled or baked white fish (like cod or sea bass), oysters, clams, and heavier seafood like salmon or tuna. It also pairs well with roasted white meats, light pasta or risotto dishes with lemony or herby profiles, and green salads, especially those featuring goat cheese, arugula, or asparagus. Pork and cheese are also suggested pairings. This wine is perfect for a special occasion, a celebratory dinner, or for collectors looking to add a rare and exceptional Sauvignon Blanc to their cellar. Its complexity and aging potential make it a fascinating wine to experience. 【Extremely rare single cuvée blending all prized parcels due to challenging vintage】
