Understanding Domaine Didier Dagueneau, Sancerre, Le Mont Damne, Loire
The Monts Damnés vineyard is renowned for its steep, south-facing slopes and limestone-clay soils. These contribute to the intensity and complexity of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The challenging terrain and the vineyard’s unique microclimate, with its warm days and cool nights, play a crucial role in developing the grapes' aromatic profile and maintaining a vibrant acidity. At Domaine Didier Dagueneau, the approach to winemaking is characterised by meticulous attention to detail and a deep respect for the terroir. Grapes are handpicked at peak ripeness and undergo a strict selection process. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels followed by maturation on lees for greater texture and complexity. Sancerre Monts Damnés expresses ripe citrus, white florals and a distinct mineral undertone supported by a crisp acidity and a rich, yet refined texture. The wine concludes with a persistent, elegant finish. This Sauvignon Blanc, with its intricate structure and depth, has excellent ageing potential.
