" This is indeed a Sauvignon Blanc with its aromas of green bell pepper and mint. The body is light and the texture silky. The 2021 offers a lovely texture and pastry-like characteristics ." Rebecca Gibb
Dagueneau's wines took the market by storm when they were released, and they remain a benchmark for Pouilly Fumé.
In 2021, the estate lost approximately 60% of the harvest, with XXI being the only wine produced by Dagueneau that year.
Domaine Didier Dagueneau , located in Saint-Andelain in the Loire Valley wine region, has established itself as one of the most iconic producers of Pouilly-Fumé. This family estate, a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture, is renowned worldwide for its wines of remarkable purity and precision. With meticulous care in both the vineyard and the cellar, the estate's wines express the full complexity of the Loire Valley terroir. The 2021 Cuvée XXI is a perfect example: a white wine with excellent aging potential, structured around a Sauvignon Blanc grape, ideal for fine dining and a must-have for any serious Loire Valley wine enthusiast.

Tasting notes
The 2021 Pouilly-Fumé XXI displays a brilliant robe with subtle green highlights. The nose, remarkably elegant, exudes delicate aromas of white flowers and ripe citrus. On the palate, the attack is lively, the structure taut and precise, carried by a remarkable freshness. The long, precise, and mineral finish underscores the perfect balance between tension and maturity. A wine that is both vibrant and complex, crafted for discerning palates.
