Dagueneau Pinot Noir

Dagueneau Pinot Noir

$32.99

This is a delightfully surprising Pinot Noir from the Central Vineyards of the Loire, a region better known for fresh and ultra-crisp whites. It bursts with ripe cherry and raspberry, along with blackberry and blueberry notes. A touch of well-rounded oak adds richness along with meaty and mushroom flavours from a touch of age. Sure, it's juicy and rich enough to drink with turkey, but if you lean more towards beef tenderloin or a striploin, it will be perfect!

Gilbert & Gallard French Wine Guide Tasting Note (2018 Vintage)

92 Points"Beautiful deep hue with young ruby highlights. Very pleasant nose accented by ripe raspberry and redcurrant. Very compelling silky mouthfeel, full with virtually ideal balance. The same persistent aromas recur on the finish. Remarkable."

The history of the Domaine dates to the late Léontine Dagueneau. In the 1920s as a widower, she bought two hectares of vines in the Loire River valley where she also grew vegetables and tended to her livestock, which consisted mainly of cattle and goats. She also made cheese alongside her wine, both of which were sought after for their quality and finesse. From here the torch has been handed down through four generations of winemakers, each of which added their own mark on the winery and Dagueneau name.  

Today, the name “Serge Dagueneau & Filles” is most often associated with the region of Pouilly-Fumé in the Loire region of France. This region is known for its high acid, dry, mineral-driven, Sauvignon Blancs that due to the soil content take on a chalky “Smokiness”, which is where the name Pouilly-Fumé comes from (Pouilly, referring to Pouilly-ser-Loire, which is a small town in the region, and Fumé, meaning smoke, referring to the flinty smokiness that is often associated with wines made in the region). Even though the name is heavily connected with the region of Pouilly-Fumé, they have extended their production to include Cotes de la Charité, which allows them to experiment with other grape varietals.  

Valerie Dagueneau - Picture from s-dagueneau-filles.fr/Valerie Dagueneau, the daughter of Serge, has now taken over the business from her father armed with knowledge from her viticulture degree, and experience from growing up in a respected wine-making family, as well as spending time in California. She has taken the Business in a slightly new direction, focusing on making the farm environmentally friendly, which has earned the winery an HEV (High Environmental Value) certification.
