A rebel with a cause
Didier Dagueneau was one of a kind. With his wild hair and no-compromise approach, he redefined what Sauvignon Blanc could be. His wines—radical, pure, electric—put Pouilly-Fumé back on the map. “Buisson Renard” is one of his most mineral-driven cuvées, sourced from flinty soils that give it tension and precision.
Tasting note
Smoky and saline on the nose, with lime zest and crushed oyster shell. On the palate: razor-sharp structure, grapefruit pith, and a clean, chalky finish. No makeup, no noise—just clarity.
Fun fact
“Buisson Renard” means “fox bush” in French. The vineyard was once a popular hiding spot during fox hunts. These days, it’s wine lovers doing the chasing.
Score 95/100
A small note on our tasting impressions:
Many of the wines we taste come from bottles that aren’t quite sale-worthy—levels a bit low, labels too distressed, or simply not pretty enough for the spotlight. While we love the character these bottles bring, our notes are not based on a single glass alone. They reflect years of tasting experience—both within our team and from trusted friends in the wine world.
As for the fun facts?
All true (we promise)… though possibly enhanced by the gentle glow of a good glass of wine.
