Didier Dagueneau Pur Sang 2023 [NET] EARHARDT and dry style

and dry style

a small sulfur dose in tank and none at time of disgorgement

and it carries the producer's signature mix of mineral lift

Bodega Hermanos Mesa farms a tiny half-hectare clearing at around 1

where cool winds funneled through the combe give wines of remarkable structure

Didier Dagueneau Pur Sang 2023 [NET] EARHARDT and dry stylePur Sang means 'pureblood,' and it's one of Dagueneau's defining cuvees. The Loire's most legendary Sauvignon Blanc estate, founded by Didier and now run biodynamically by his son Louis Benjamin, draws this wine from chalky limestone soils almost entirely lacking the flint that marks its sibling Silex. The result is a purer, more crystalline expression: citrus, quince and mineral cut with electric acidity. Intense, precise and built for the cellar.
