The sadly departed Didier Dageneau lifted Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc to new heights through his extraordinary low-yielding biodynamic expressions of Pouilly Fumé. His son Louis-Benjamin continues the tradition, and these remain some of the world's most compelling white wines. Like all the wines, the Pur Sang is aged in a variety of barrels teasing out the hidden nuances of this clay-limestone vineyard
"Sourced from a south-facing single vineyard on flint and clay over chalk, the 2018 Pur Sang is all white flowers and spiced apple pastry. Seemingly effortless and silken, its Sauvignon edges rounded out in barrels. It offers excellent concentration on the mid-palate, a line of acidity acting like a thread and holding the core together like a ball. Delectably textured, with a hint of tannic sensation holding the mouth gently on a lengthy conclusion that's drawn-out and precise. A complex, multifaceted wine" 94/100 Rebecca Gibb MW
