The 2023 opens in layers, ripe citrus, white peach and green apple at first, then a cooler, more stony register of wet stone, fresh herbs and that unmistakable flinty smokiness that seems to hum through the wine rather than sit on top of it. There is intensity here, but nothing showy. Instead, it feels sculpted and precise, the fruit wrapped around a core of mineral tension that gives the wine both power and poise. The palate is beautifully controlled, bright and energetic on entry, then broader and more textural through the middle, finishing long, saline and almost chalk-dusted in its persistence. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"838\" data-end=\"1196\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"838\" data-end=\"851\"\u003eFor when:\u003c\/strong\u003e the food is elegant, the company matters, and the white needs to be every bit as memorable as the occasion.\u003cbr data-start=\"959\" data-end=\"962\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"962\" data-end=\"977\"\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e turbot, scallops, lobster, goat’s cheese, or something simple and exquisite with citrus and herbs.\u003cbr data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1079\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1079\" data-end=\"1109\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eIf this wine were a place:\u003c\/strong\u003e a high Loire hillside at first light, all cool stone, clean air and rising brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1838\"\u003eBuisson Renard comes from a single parcel in \u003cstrong data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1261\"\u003eSaint-Andelain\u003c\/strong\u003e, the highest village in Pouilly-Fumé, on a prized mix of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1354\"\u003eclay and flint-rich silex soils\u003c\/strong\u003e that help give the wine its signature smoky minerality and tensile shape. Domaine Didier Dagueneau farms biodynamically and raises the wine in large barrels, a combination that gives Buisson Renard its rare balance of depth, texture and crystalline site expression. The estate remains one of the Loire’s great reference points for Sauvignon Blanc, and this cuvée is among its most compelling, a wine of both cerebral detail and quiet sensuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1838\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE NOTE: THIS WINE IS DUE IN AT END OF MAY 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55590383485313,"sku":null,"price":138.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2022Pouilly-FumeBuissonRenard_DomaineDidierDagueneau_1_d44c6241-a8b5-44a9-ab68-e80caadd6775.png?v=1765233991","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2023-pouilly-fume-buisson-renard-domaine-didier-dagueneau","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
