    The grapes for the Domaine Didier Dagueneau Buisson Renard 2018 vintage come from a cool, mid-slop terroir on the southwest side of the Saint-Andelain slope. The vineyard area is actually named Buisson Menard, as was the wine originally, but a wine writer mistakenly reviewed the wine as Buisson Renard. ‘Renard’ means fox in French and ‘buisson’ means bush, so the error gave the wine a name that sounded like ‘fox bush’ or ‘bush of the fox’. Didier Dagueneau fell about laughing and immediately renamed the wine.

    The wine was barrel fermented and aged in Dagueneau’s bespoke, cigar-shaped barrels. A textured and layered wine with perhaps even more fat than normal. Notes of nettle, golden delicious, and preserved lemon with a gently powdery close with that unerring tension and drive also found in Pur Sang.
