ESTATE HISTORY

Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau is the master of this exceptional estate dedicated to Sauvignon Blanc.

Since the untimely passing of his father, in September 2008, Louis-Benjamin runs the domaine along with his sister Charlotte. Together they continue to maintain the wine legacy left by their father, who was often referred to as an acclaimed artist and ‘France’s most physically messianic winemaker in a bacchic parody of the Annunciation’. With enormous courage and great willpower, the siblings have risen to the challenge of producing spectacular wines.

Through innovation and a pursuit of the highest complexity and purity in their wines, the XXI Cuvée was created. This unique wine is a combination of some of their most famous parcels vinified together into a single blend called XXI (Twenty-One).

TERROIR

The domaine is located in the village of Saint-Andelain on the very best terroirs that Pouilly-Fumé has to offer. The terroirs, the vines and the grapes are king on this 12-hectare estate exclusively planted with Sauvignon.

VITICULTURE

Organic & biodynamic farming

WINEMAKING

TASTING & FOOD PAIRINGS

92 points Vinous

The Buisson Renard tends to be a more supple, more aromatically restrained cuvée in the Dagueneau stable, and the 2019 is no different. It's probably the richer clay soils on this section of the domaine. There's a delicate savory, herbal and oak-derived nutty character. It is fine and fresh with a supple texture that holds the mouth like a gentle embrace.
