"Shows a humus hint in the aroma, with lots of fresh herb, lemon peel, grapefruit, macadamia nut and floral notes. Long and very stony on the finish, with herb and fleur de sel notes that refuse to quit. Hangs together perfectly, leaving a mouthwatering impression." 97 points, Wine Spectator

"Didier Dagueneau is the great master of Sauvignon Blanc and one of the Loire Valley's most fasinating winemakers. Resembling a prophet with his long, unruly hair and a full beard, Dagueneau immediately strikes one as someone who is on a quest to do something very special in life. He has been a controversial figure in France, condemning his neighbors, going on French TV to point out their high yields and carelessly managed vineyards, but he's trying to make a point. Great wines can be produced, but such high quality is costly and time-consuming, and requires hard work. Despite his often inflammatory rhetoric and in-your-face personality, this is a great winemaker who is trying to produce Pouilly-Fumes that have grand cru-like complexity, richness, and aging potential. He makes no compromises-- in the vineyards, in his modern cellars, or in the wine. He both talks the talk and walks the walk. Dagueneau has become an inspiration to the younger generation in the Loire Valley and his wines are a beacon of integrity and greatness." from Robert Parker's The World's Greatest Wine Estates
