Didier Dagueneau 2020 Blanc Etc

The 2020 Louis-Benjamin Didier Dagueneau Blanc is a remarkable Sauvignon Blanc from the renowned Pouilly-Fumé region of the Loire Valley. It exudes a pale gold hue, and on the nose, it offers a captivating bouquet of citrus blossoms, fresh-cut grass, and hints of flinty minerals. The palate is vibrant and crisp, showcasing zesty notes of grapefruit, green apple, and a subtle herbaceousness. This wine is elegantly structured, with a racy acidity that balances its fruitiness, leading to a long, refreshing finish. It's a pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc and a testament to Didier Dagueneau's dedication to crafting exceptional wines.

"The 2020 Blanc etc. is developing into a mellow style with the richness of the vintage showing. It is what the French would call gourmand and, close to three years after being harvested, has entered a delectable stage of its evolution. Yes, it's still young but has improved and opened up since tasting a year ago. It now offers baked apple, honey and pastry flavors while retaining freshness. It is long and concentrated with a firm sense of structure, doing the mouth equivalent of providing a firm, reassuring handshake, likely due to the clay-flint soils, which make up two-thirds of the blend."
