2022 Didier Dagueneau Pouilly-Fume Pur Sang, Loire, France
$149.99
Produced primarily from a vineyard north of Saint Andelain called La Folie. Occasionally, some smaller plots on the Saint Andelain hill make it into this cuvee. The soil here is deeper clay with some chalky limestone. There is virtually no silex in the soil. Barrel fermented and aged mostly in 450 and 600 liter barrels, as well as some of Dagueneau's famous cigar barrels. Designed by the late Didier, these barrels are 350 liters and agressively elongated.
Wine arrives the first week of February, 2025.
