Dagueneau XXI 2021 is a medium- to full-bodied, single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from the Pouilly-Fumé appellation of the Loire Valley, France. Owing to a major yield shortfall caused by mildew, the XXI cuvée was the only wine produced at Domaine Dagueneau in 2021 It was fermented and aged for 10 months in new oak barrels. "Tasted on the verge of being filtered as a finished tank sample, the result is a silky yet mouthwatering expression. It`s all gooseberry and elderflower on the nose with green apples and a tangy sense of refreshment on the bright finish. It reflects the cooler side of the vintage with a good grip holding the mouth. It offers decent concentration, but it`s not particularly complex or lengthy." Vinous, 2023

The XXI is the total sum of the 2021 vintage due to frost but mainly rot caused by too much rain at the end of the season. According to its maker, the domain lost around 60% of the crop. This is definitely a Sauvignon Blanc with its green capsicum and mint flavors; often, the varietal character is less overt in the Daguneau styles. It's light in body with silken flesh built through the mid-palate. The 2021 offers some nice texture and lees-derived pastry characters. Rebecca Gibb1st August 2024
