The Dagueneau story is one of radical obsession, passed from the late, iconic Didier to his son Louis-Benjamin. By treating Sauvignon Blanc with the reverence typically reserved for Montrachet—utilizing custom-made barrels and painstaking fruit selection—the family created a cult following that shows no signs of slowing. Under Louis-Benjamin’s watch, the estate continues to set the gold standard for tension, longevity, and mineral expression.

"Buisson Renard" comes from a flint-laden parcel on the Saint-Andelain hill that produces a notoriously "sauvage" and complex wine. The 2023 is a savory, gastronomic beast, leaning into notes of dried herbs, mint, and a massive, smoky minerality. It is broader on the shoulders than its siblings, offering a chewy, concentrated grip that demands food and attention.

If "Pur Sang" is about grace, "Buisson Renard" is about character. It is intense, slightly reductive in its youth, and vibrates with an almost primal energy. This is Sauvignon Blanc at its most intellectual and terroir-driven, built for those who want to taste the smoke and soil of Pouilly-Fumé in high definition.
