Domaine Didier Dagueneau Pouilly-Fumé Pur Sang 2018 Magnum

The cult winery of Sauvignon Blanc, the Dagueneau bottlings are the epitome of the varietal.  Pur Sang is the most powerful and hedonistic of the range. 

Critics thoughts - 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.  Rebecca Gibb MW, vinous.com, August 2021
