Didier Dagueneau

Based in the little village of Saint-Andelain in the heart of Pouilly - Fumé appellations, Domaine Didier Dagueneau has been producing some of the finest wines in the world for decades. After a first career racing motorcycle sidecars, in 1982, Didier Dagueneau returned to his hometown to set up his own estate in Pouilly-Fumé rather than joining the family estate. Inspired by the great wines of his mentor Edmond Vatan as well as Henri Jayer, Dagueneau was one of the first growers of the appellation to experiment single-vineyard wines. In 1982 he first acquired 1.2 hectares of En Chailloux, then Silex in 1985 and Pur Sang in 1988.
