Saint-Andelain (Pouilly-Fumé)
Didier Dagueneau
The wild genius who reinvented Pouilly-Fumé.
Founded 1982BiodynamicSignature · Silex
The late Didier Dagueneau dragged Pouilly-Fumé from cheap quaffer to serious terroir wine, with brutally low yields, biodynamics and single-vineyard bottlings of Sauvignon Blanc.
Cuvées like Silex and Pur Sang showed Sauvignon could be as profound and age-worthy as white Burgundy; his children continue the estate.
