We are located in France, in the eastern part of the Loire Valley, exactly in the village of Saint-Andelain, north of Pouilly-sur-Loire: one of the absolute kingdoms of sauvignon blanc.
This is where the Sauvignon Blanc is nicknamed "blanc fumé", from which the AOC denomination "Pouilly-Fumé" derives. Didier Dagueneau was a virtuous character: a disciple of Henri Jayer (the undisputed father of the new Burgundian viticulture) he fielded so many ideas and so many effective practices that he came to inspire winemakers all over the world.

"Everything about this man was out of the ordinary", Jacques Perrin wrote of him: with a wild appearance, an almost always provocative way of doing and with an attitude of infinite modesty and gratitude towards life, Didier was a convinced follower of biodynamics and at the same time harsh critic of the rigid standards imposed by certifications. He took sides in no uncertain terms against the practices widespread at the time in Pouilly-sur-Loire, where the vignerons favored medium quality Sauvignons practicing low densities per vine and mechanized harvesting.

“I try to take care of my vineyard as if it were a work of art”, said Didier. And his Sauvignons are. Wines that go beyond giving pleasure: wines imbued with lyricism and charm, capable of wonderfully reading the various terroirs of Saint-Andelain and able to give emotions that make the human senses vibrate. He died prematurely at the age of 52, on September 17, 2008, since then the 11.5 hectares have been managed in the same spirit by his son Louis-Benjamin with the help of his sister Charlotte. The wines that come to life from “Domaine Didier Dagueneau”, are now legendary, their names music to the ears, starting from the “Silex” and continuing with the “Blanc Fumé de Pouilly”, passing through “Les Jardins de Babylone”, the "Buisson Renard", for "Le Mont Damné" and for the "Pur San": simply extraordinary wines.
