Very complex nose, but the palate is too acidic and demands food to be drinkable. Possibly would work well with shellfish. I'm curious to see how this would develop over 10-20 years. A curiosity but probably not worth seeking out.

Light medium yellow color. Inexpressive nose of lemon and fresh cut grass. Dry, tart acidity, palate follows through with a minerally/flinty note. Medium body. Good balance (too tart). Medium finish. Interesting but not great QPR.

Bu en pur aveugle j'ai étrangement erré sur... un Silex ou autre cuvées de Pouilly de Dagueneau. Comme quoi! Clairement la patte du vigneron sur ce vin avec ce côté citronné et cette puissance en jeunesse. Avec l'aération on découvre un peu plus ce qu'on attend d'un vin sec du jurançon avec ce côté fruits séchés, mais sans la rondeur typique. Très bien mais je préfère ce que Dagueneau fait en Loire surtout à ce prix.

From glass. Initially closed nose, suggestive of beauty, but later cheesier and waxier before sweetening significantly into sweet lemon and starfruit. Nice volume to the palate, full acidity, and a finish that’s mysteriously toasty, but mostly a long midpalate of bright, clean, juicy lemon and some darker rockies. Very nice, but I suspect that from a bottle over a few hours or even days this may show more of its many colors and offer more pleasure.

Interesting, but not delicious.

Solid bottle of wine, lean minerally and a hint of green. Resembles chablis a bit.
