Tasting notes

Didier Dagueneau is a reference name in the panoply of great winegrowers. A pupil of the legendary Henri Jayer, Didier Dagueneau was an artist passionate about the vine, which he worked meticulously, with a deep philosophy of respect for the terroir. His death in 2008 left his children, Louis Benjamin and Charlotte, the legacy of his work and his philosophy: parcel selections, harvests at optimal maturity, aging on lees and under wood without any racking. The wines remain models of purity, crystalline and transparent expression of sauvignon blanc. The Sancerre Les Monts Damnés is a cuvée of great elegance, which fully expresses the minerality of its Chavignol terroir. The nose is open, fruity (pineapple, lychee), with floral and liquorice notes. The mouth is rich and deep, with fat, roundness and volume, aromas of exotic fruits and white fruits.
