SLDS November 2020: Blind. Florals, apricot, lemon and apple. Very youthful palate, plenty of acid and clean mineral fruit. Made sense on the reveal, this wasn't exactly singing but it was very good!

At Source Restaurant, Mona. Served very cold. After time in the glass, it shone. Clean, crisp pear, minerals, smoke. Palate is taut and mineral. Super food wine. Over time, there’s a touch of honey, grass, lemon, herbs, wet stone. Drinking so well.

Very restrained aromas but the palate is on point. There’s a bit of aged caramel that with further age should serve as a great counterpoint to the classic green flavors that are here in perfect balance. Dagueneau produces the best Sauvignon Blanc I’ve ever tasted and this bottle is a great representation of the house style.

After the Henry Pellé '11 La Croix au Garde, Frans de Beer made two steps up with Didier Dageneau. Everything in the plus: complexity, depth in the bouquet, just a touch of salt, very lively acidity, extremely balanced and an unbelievable power you recognize in the aftertaste. This wine has the components to live at least 10 years from now. Although 'salin' (salty) is a buzz word, specially in France, where you find it nowadays in nearly each white wine, I wasn't so lucky to recognize it, but in this wine it was obvious and charming.

Blind tasting of Dagueneau wines. Ripe summer fruit on the nose, but feels disjointed in the mouth. Perhaps a weird phase.
