"This Pouilly-Fume Tradition has much less of the green flavors often connected with this appellation. Instead, it is rather floral, displays more yellow colored fruit aromas (also citrus), whereas the fascinating foundation is built up by crushed limestone rocks. On the palate this is an expressive and powerful, yet elegant and persistent Pouilly that is still young and should benefit from further bottle age. Beautifully balanced, though it does not lack a thrilling structure. Since this wine does not cost a fortune, I highly recommend seeking it out." - Robert Parker
"That the name of Dagueneau is today incontrovertibly linked with the Pouilly-Fumé appellation is of course down to one man, the late Didier Dagueneau (1956 – 2008). His story is already well-known. What is sometimes forgotten is that he was but one of a broad clan of vignerons working in this appellation who also carried this name, many of whom (in truth, surely all of them) were related. Two of them work in near-adjacent cellars located in Les Berthiers, a small hamlet on the road which leads up to Saint-Andélain, which was where Didier chose to establish himself when he returned to the appellation.
One of these is Serge Dagueneau, Didier’s uncle. While today the Dagueneau crown, if there could be such a thing, rests lightly on the head of Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau, Didier’s son, the wines of Serge Dagueneau and his daughters should not be overlooked. The domaine has a long history in the region, and the wines have a strapping character." - Winery
