Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Tasting the components that would become the Dagueneau 2011 Pouilly-Fume Les Pentes (and which includes fruit from some rows of Le Romain, the estate’s sole flint-inflected site, on the remarkably preserved, flint-paved Roman road at the northern edge of Pouilly), it’s clear that this cuvee will..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Beautifully pure, with salted butter, chamomile and quinine notes lacing up a core of creamed Jonagold apple and lanolin flavors. The long, creamy finish lets the chamomile edge play out elegantly."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... Pronounced nutty piquancy and wet stone in the nose as well as on the palate here mingle with smoky snuffed candle wick and black tea; quince and white peach...this Clos du Papillon grips so authoritatively and combines such a sense of stuffing and stone without becoming heavy or bitter than..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
