The Domaine Didier Dagueneau, founded in 1982 and internationally renowned for its exceptional sauvignons, faced a challenging start as the public rejected the owner's unconventional, intuition-based winemaking methods. Through determination, he managed to convince both enthusiasts and professionals of the value of his practices. His success is rooted in his meticulous nature and ability to "listen to the wine" throughout the vinification and aging process. Sustainable farming, pruning to control yields, manual harvesting, and strict grape selection, along with an exceptional technical team, all contribute to the domaine's success. Following Didier Dagueneau's accidental death in 2008, his son Benjamin has successfully taken over.
En Chailloux is a small plot located at the border with Pouilly-Fumé, and shares with us scents of citrus, with an extraordinary minerality. Very pure Sauvignon Blanc.
