Domaine Didier Dagueneau, Pouilly Fume, Blanc Fume de Pouilly

Blanco brought to GF2 dinner last nite. I've had this wine before, & it's still showing nicely. Grassy aromas, green apples and perhaps a bit of peach too. Palate is complex with notes of apricot and peach. Good acidity level, and pleasingly long finish.

2009 vintage

This needed quite a bit of air. Stone fruit, cheese, minerals, peach, gooseberry, slight tropical fruit. Nice acidity, citrus, lemon, tart peach, crushed rocks, and saline notes on the palate. Good finish. Very interesting wine, it’s ripe but also well balanced with nice minerality.

2015 vintage

Very Chenin Blanc like experience with this wine. Hints of petrol and honey, green apple and higher acidity than I expected, even a little marshmallow without any grassy notes. I really enjoyed this wine, which was for my palate, drinking at peak.

2009 vintage

Quite nice in a focused narrow profile of white peach and yellow fruit notes. Notably aromatic. Finishes steely and lengthy, but without significant depth.

2009 vintage

Blind. Some lime-like bitterness in the end but sweet and balanced, not overripe. 92

2009 vintage

Very floral on the nose but dry and zesty when you drink it. Certainly one of the most complex whites I have every had. Still not sure about the QPR.

2015 vintage

Pale golden. Citrus, passionfruit, complex gooseberry. Good acid drive. Integrated. Showing a bare hint of richness? Distinctive and quite sophisticated. Very enjoyable over three nights.

2015 vintage

Yellow, tending towards gold. Pretty closed on nose and palate initially. Two hours to open up. Really long. Passionfruit. Citrus. Minerals. Chalk. Really good acidity. It was quite rounded and had a long lanolin-like nose and palate more reminiscent in some ways of a premium (Hunter Valley) Semillon to me at the outset and for more than an hour post double decant into a single bottle decanter. I may have had it a little cold to start maybe. After a …

2015 vintage

Good fruit and flowers on nose, gentle on palate with nice acidity. Well made.

2015 vintage

Flower taste with a hint of sweetness. Nice easy lunch wine.

2015 vintage

Pop and pour. Again, lovely. On the nose: grapefruit, gooseberry, cut grass, and a soft creamy note. On the palate: good acidity, fantastic density and creamy mouthfeel. Perfect with lobster pasta with red sauce. Yum, in the zone for my palate.

2015 vintage

A l'aveugle je trouvais que c'était une bonne coche en dessous du calibre de Cotat et Boulay... C'est bien bon et typé de la région, mais je ne vois aucune raison logique pourquoi cette bouteille se détail 2x plus cher que ses comparses de la Loire. 2,5/5 (en raison du prix)

2015 vintage

À l'aveugle, première expérience avec ce producteur de renom. C'est frais, minéral, sur des notes de melon, miel, groseille. Une bonne structure, et une longueur fort appréciable. Super bon vin!

2015 vintage

Echo what previous notes say, this was fantastic with grilled fish and has opened my eyes to aged Sauvignon.

2009 vintage

Good grape purity

2015 vintage

Jasmine, flint, peach and some vanilla in the aftertaste. Complex and in great shape for 11 y.o. wine. 93 no need to age that more.

2009 vintage

Absolutely fantastic. On the nose: grapefruit, meyer lemon, gooseberry, basil, soft herbs, supremely elegant but expressive at the same time. On the palate, lovely acidity, waves of dense grapefruit, wet stone, meyer lemon peel...wow. Long finish, with a touch of spice.

2015 vintage

Non-Chard Whites (under $30 and over $70) (Casa Covolo) : No detailed notes, but this finished 3rd out of 8. I was surprised this didn't finish better.

2015 vintage

More comprehensive notes got deleted and now have had too much wine to care. This is really good & pretty special - cool/fresh nose with some citrus/yeast. Medium body with acidity that starts out mellow and then sneaks up on you - plenty of fresh citrus, rocks/flint and a touch of yeast.

2015 vintage

It was really good, but not as memorable as other DD wines I’ve enjoyed in the past. Sun bright yellow- waxy texture- star fruit, anise, mineral. All there but just seemed a hint muted to me. Very good. Very enjoyable.

2015 vintage

Fresh aromas. Light, low acidity. Enjoyable.

2015 vintage

Superb - expressive and light

2015 vintage

The single best sauvignon blanc I have ever tasted from any continent. Brilliant white fruit and spoiled hay on the nose. In the mouth it is honeyed apricot and not-yet-ripe red apple. The finish is incredible. It just never quits - long and complex. Acid, citrus fruit, honey, apricot on the very, very end at about 60 seconds. An amazing wine. Clearly sauvignon blanc but Riesling-like. A stunning wine. Sadly, my last bottle.

2009 vintage

The nose here is utterly gorgeous from the moment the cork is pulled, boasting layers of super-clean, classy aromatics such as clementine, peach, lychee, anis, spring water and fresh herbs. The palate is creamy, softly textured and light in body, with surprisingly low acidity. This leaves it feeling almost a tad watery in the middle, and I can’t help thinking how strange it is to be left wanting more acid in a dry Sauvignon Blanc - usually one has the …

2015 vintage

Una sauvignon blanc finísima, que comienza muy ahumada para dar paso a mentolados, a tropicales frescos y a flores blancas. En boca entra bien con cierta sensación de materia pese a su fluidez, acidez amarga (hace la maloláctica???), estructura media y gran persistencia. Excelente.

2015 vintage

Drank at our Loire tasting at Crabtree last nite, and this was my white WOTN. Quite a memorable wine showing wonderfully, and what an expressive nose! Straw, citrus and grass just explodes from the glass, and continued to do so even after the glass was empty. Not your typical SB, this is a more rounded, viscous, richer version of the grape, though still possessing all of the qualities one loves in SB--citrus, good but not overwhelming acidity, slightly tart apples, …

2009 vintage

SLDS June 2018 : Green undertones, expressive spices, lemon, oyster shell and citrus fruit. Palate is pure, light weighted fruit, a touch austere through the mid palate.

2015 vintage

An interesting wine, not quite sure what to think of it. Warm year, big, viscous, almost viognier-like. Big and round as opposed to acidic and tropical. Don't see this gaining much with more age. Good not great. 90?

2009 vintage

Still very much alive and vibrant after almost 8 years. Initial nose of grapefruit, gooseberry, some white peach and nail polish remover. Palate is medium lean with an easy finish and mild acid. More citrus fruit, Meyer lemon, curd, and key limes.

2009 vintage

Rich dense aromas of feijoa, mandarin and also some dried apricot. Dense rich mouthful on the palate, beautifully complex, more citrus with a hint of gold kiwifruit. Long finish, excellent wine

2009 vintage

Aromas of melon, gooseberry and kiwi. Lots of ripeness here, with fine acidity and a slightly oily texture. Not much mineral backbone though - probably due to the warm vintage.

2009 vintage

This is a remarkable wine - broad spectrum Sauvignon Blanc. Tame citrus, though still it's most prominent feature. A bit of dry straw on the nose - a cut lime on dry straw. In the mouth, rich and deep. Long, long finish - 60 - 90 seconds. Not a single discordant note. Exceptional. I had this almost a year ago and the difference between then and now is perceptible - today it is more rounded, nuanced. I rarely wax rhapsodic …

2009 vintage

Semblable à ma dégustation précédente. Dans son apogée, je pense.

2009 vintage

Robe jaune pâle. Après aération, toute une palette d'arômes de fruits pamplemousse, citron vert, et autres abricot, ananas. Belle acidité, fraîcheur, minéralité, finale fruitée, longueur. Une réussite.

2009 vintage

Pale lemon and still primary. Lemon pie, apricots and seaspray. Fresh, crisp, yet with weight and body. Great length. Drink now or keep in the cellar. (93 Excellent wine)

2009 vintage

pale/clear straw. nose is mineral with notes of tropical fruit. It is "thicker" than i thought it would. Fuller body. my wife tasted minerals I got the tropic fruit. there is still acidity that holds it together. really enjoyed this. No way i would have guessed it was a 6 year old.

2009 vintage

Sauvignon Blanc on steroids. Assertive but compelling. First smell was a typical early cat piss smell. But in a good way. If that's possible, which it is with this. Over the next three hours it calmed, deepened and spread over a broad spectrum of citrus, melon, green grass and spice. Remarkable. Unusual. Hard to describe but a memorable experience. Whatever I paid, it was worth it on a crisp, blue sky, fall day in Big Sky Country.

2009 vintage

De prime abord, le vin était fortement marqué par son millesime, confit et manquant de relief. Puis l'aération a fait son œuvre et il a gagné en fraicheur, l'ananas confit a peu à peu laissé place au pamplemousse, le vin a pris de la hauteur, retrouvé son charme végétal (mousse, fougère, menthe) le minéral l'a comme rafraîchi, étiré, et il s'est avéré de plus en plus digeste. Top sur le lieu jaune au gingembre et citron vert cuisiné ce soir …

2009 vintage

Blind tasting of Dagueneau wines. Gooseberry, pomelo and cut grass. Dry but either explosive concentration of fruit. Lingering. Great stuff for the price.

2009 vintage

Light pale yellow color. The nose is mineral laden with wet rocks, lemon verbena, grassy elements and lime. Palate shows a really nice grilled lime acid infused character. Nice starter.

2009 vintage

What Pouilly Fume should be. Light straw yellow with assertive minerality and ringing lemon/grass on the nose. Clear, clean acidity beautifully balances the finish. Terrific.

2009 vintage

All smoky, unctuous fruit and balanced, rich flavor -- love it!

2009 vintage

I'm so sorry all I purchased was just one bottle of this. Drank this with my son and daughter-in-law for her 31st birthday in NYC. On pop n pour, this was an elegant white, made by a premier winemaker. There was a hint of acid that would fade a way. At first, the wine was good, but I wondered what all the fuss was about. At 45 minutes, my comment was Oh My! This is singing. I'd suggest a decant. …

2009 vintage

L’entrée de gamme de dagueuneau en dit long sur le niveau du domaine : le nez est intrigant avec du citron vert ; des fruits exotiques et aussi de petites notes grillées qui ajoutent en complexité, le vin est finalement peu variétal et c’est tant mieux. La bouche est très pure ; rien à dire sur l’équilibre qui est juste superbe ; c’est un très bon vin
