      Domaine Didier Dagueneau Vin de France Blanc Etc 2023 is a distinctive Sauvignon Blanc from France's Loire Valley, produced by one of the region's most revered estates. Although labelled Vin de France, Blanc Etc forms part of the Dagueneau family's celebrated Sauvignon Blanc collection associated with Pouilly-Fumé and the village of Saint-Andelain. Founded by the late Didier Dagueneau, whose uncompromising vineyard work and pioneering approach transformed perceptions of Loire Sauvignon Blanc, the estate is now led by Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau, who continues the family's meticulous philosophy in both vineyard and cellar. Blanc Etc is often considered the most approachable wine in the range, offering a clear introduction to the domaine's unmistakable style while retaining the precision, intensity and mineral character for which Dagueneau is renowned.

      The 2023 vintage is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, with fruit grown under organic and biodynamic principles that reflect the estate's exacting approach to farming and site expression. Pale gold in colour, the wine opens with expressive aromas of citrus zest, white peach, fresh herbs and flinty minerality. The palate is vibrant and finely textured, layering green apple, quince and citrus with chalky minerality, saline freshness and a lightly smoky edge that speaks to its Loire origins. Bright natural acidity carries through a long, persistent finish, giving the wine both immediate appeal and the structure to evolve gracefully in bottle. It is an elegant accompaniment to grilled seafood, citrus-marinated chicken, herb-led dishes and classic Loire goat's cheese.

      Domaine Didier Dagueneau

      Dagueneau is an absolutely essential name in Loire wines. "A quality extremist" who takes the Pouilly wines to a unique level. It is after all in Pouilly Fumé and Sancerre that set the global benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc. The two signature wines, Silex and Pur Sang rank amongst the great white wines of the world. They are in a dimension beyond being merely outstanding Sauvignon Blanc.

      Didier Dagueneau will forever be remembered as “The Wild Man of Saint-Andelain”. A true enfant terrible, he singlehandedly revolutionised viticulture and wine making in Pouilly-Fumé. Initially vilified by his peers, he was eventually revered for his success. Dagueneau tragically passed away in a light plane crash in September 2008.  His son is now in charge of the Domaine and continues to uphold his father’s remarkable legacy.

      Benjamin Dagueneau grew up in the vineyards and tasting great wines with his legendary father. He completed a degree in oenology and came back to work at the Domaine in 2004 after a year with François Chidaine in Montlouis and another year with Olivier Jullien at Mas Jullien in the Languedoc. He was about to launch his own Domaine when his father tragically passed away. He was ready.

      But how do the wines of Louis Benjamin differ from those of his father. The wines today have the same tension and vineyard expression that they did under Didier yet there is an added generosity and texture which certainly adds something to the equation. Regardless, no matter which wine you choose, each bottle from this avant-garde grower lives in a dimension beyond being merely outstanding Sauvignon Blanc and ranks amongst the great white wines of the world.
