2009 Dagueneau Didier Buisson Renard Pouilly-Fumé Blanc 1.5L

2009 Didier Dagueneau Buisson Renard: Silex-Driven Pouilly-Fumé Magnum

The 2009 Didier Dagueneau Buisson Renard Pouilly-Fumé Blanc 1.5L Magnum represents an aristocratic benchmark of Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. In particular, this cuvée comes from a single flint-and-clay parcel on the Saint-Andelain hill known historically as “Buisson Renard.” In addition, the solar and celebrated 2009 vintage produced fruit of tremendous phenolic concentration, vibrant energy, and mineral cut in large format.

Tasting Notes for 2009 Didier Dagueneau Buisson Renard

The wine opens with commanding aromas of ripe grapefruit, green apple, lemongrass, white peach, and gunflint. Furthermore, nuanced layers of crushed stones, lemon verbena, and delicate spice evolve with aeration. On the palate, an oily, expansive texture is framed by a thrilling spine of crystalline acidity. Consequently, the finish lingers with extraordinary saline length, smoky minerality, and monumental poise.
