"Pur Sang" Blanc, Didier Dagueneau - 2023

750 mL
Item # 15915

This is a barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc is the first vintage that son, Benjamin has released. The Pur Sang shines of brilliance, concentration and expression, with opulent mineral ripeness, due to the warm, dry vintage. Didier Dagueneau, the perfectionist iconoclastc, was succeeded by his son, Louis-Benjamin. Having accomplished 2 vintages already on his own, it is evident that he is following his father's methods to the note.
