2023 Didier Dagueneau Buisson Renardes Blanc VdF, Loire Valley, France Domaine des Fauvettes 2016 Chateau Beychevelle Saint-JulienA single parcel located mid slope on the southwest side of Saint Andelain, the highest village in the Pouilly Fume appellation, and the only one to possess soil containing the perfect balance of clay and flint (silex). Historically, this vineyard has been known as Buisson Menard, but a few years back, a famous French wine journalist made the unenviable mistake of misnaming it Buisson Renard. Didier took offense and thus renamed it the following year.
