Louis-Benjamin – Didier Dagueneau Sancerre Le mont Damné white 2020

The Louis-Benjamin – Didier Dagueneau Sancerre Le Mont Damné 2022 is one of the rarest and most distinctive wines produced by the estate. Unlike Dagueneau’s historic Saint-Andelain cuvées, this wine comes from Chavignol and the celebrated Monts Damnés hillside, one of Sancerre’s most prestigious terroirs. Made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc, it offers a fascinating interpretation of the Dagueneau style through a deeply calcareous terroir. The 2022 vintage combines generous fruit and texture with impressive freshness, while 12 months of barrel ageing followed by 6 months in tank help build complexity and precision. Awarded 94 points by Vinous, it is distinguished by its delicate, fine and chalky texture. Still remarkably youthful, this is a serious cellar wine capable of developing extraordinary complexity over the coming decades.
