Serge Dagueneau and his daughters are the uncle, and cousins, respectively, of Didier Dagueneau. Serge’s two daughters, Florence and Valerie, are two hard-working, serious young vigneronnes, and the prime reasons that this domaine is now starting to appear on many of the top wine lists in France. Serge, Florence and Valerie are also proponents of harvesting late, and their single vineyard Les Pentes is marked by a distinctly ripe-tasting, rich, melony quality which comes from Sauvignon on calcaire soil, when hand-harvested at its peak of maturity. |

"Our flagship wine originates from the harmonious blending of grapes from our various Blanc-Fumé parcels. This wine is made according to traditional methods; direct pressing and then matured on fine lees, expressing fruity, exotic flavours of grapefruit and other citrus fruit along with the rich mineral flavour of a typical "Terres blanches" wine." -Winery Notes |

89 Points Wine Advocate “The 2013 Pouilly-Fumé Les Pentes is a crisp, Kiwi-like Sauvignon from 45-year-old vines in Kimmeridgian marl soils. Very clear and aromatic, its flinty tropical aromas of kiwi, passion fruit, mangoes, guava, lychee, citrus and grapefruit are followed by a very attractive attack in the mouth. Racked from the lees in January and bottled in March this is a brilliant, fruit-intense and elegant Pouilly with a luscious fruit and a piquant, zesty finish.” |
