Good minerality and mouthfeel. (2493 views) | | | Tasted by Edward A on 8/18/2010 & rated 90 points: Purchased retail, chilled, popped and poured. Medium body with a blunted crisp finish. Good for price point. (2703 views) | | | Tasted by chrisa23 on 5/23/2010 & rated 92 points: Golden color, medium bodied, very enjoyable. Nice balance of fruit and minerals. (2633 views) | | | Tasted by TLHWG on 4/11/2009 & rated 91 points: Perfectly balanced & viscous making for a full and extremely smooth mouthfeel--IMO the mouthfeel alone is worth trying this. Lychee and citrus fruit dominate with tertiary tropical fruit. (3072 views) |
| Serge Dagueneau Producer website
Serge Dagueneau and his daughters are the uncle, and cousins, respectively, of Didier Dagueneau. Serge’s two daughters, Florence and Valerie, are two hard-working, serious young vigneronnes, and I think, are the prime reasons that this domaine is now starting to appear on many of the top wine lists in France. The vines for the cuvee Les Pentes are situated on the marno-calcaire soil nearest Pouilly (compared to the flint—Silex—soil of St Andelain). The yields here, they limit to between 48 and 55 hl/ha. Serge, Florence and Valerie are also proponents of harvesting late, and their Les Pentes is marked by a distinctly ripe-tasting, rich, melony quality which comes from Sauvignon on calcaire soil, when harvested at its peak of maturity.Sauvignon Blanc Varietal CharacterFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)
