Didier Dagueneau Pur Sang 2023 [NET] EARHARDT or a selection of mature

or a selection of mature cheeses

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

and built for casual drinking

This Bandol inspired wine shows the elegant side of Mourvedre

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

Didier Dagueneau Pur Sang 2023 [NET] EARHARDT or a selection of maturePur 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.
