Serge Dagueneau et Fils Pouilly-Fume “Les Pentes” 2021

“The whites of Pouilly-Fumé, even more so than their Sancerre neighbors, are criminally undervalued. This modestly priced masterwork is a prime example—it's built to thrill both now and over the five-plus years!”  Ian Cauble. The Kimmeridgian limestone gives the wine its rustic qualities of smoke, spicy pear, melon and lemon zest.  An assertive wine that should breathe a new confidence into the Sauvignon Blancs coming out of the Loire.
