Didier Dagueneau是法國羅瓦河谷（Loire）的一位傳奇釀酒師。若說起Sauvignon Blanc，他的出品絕對是首屈一指。《紐約時報》這樣評價：「他的Sauvignon Blanc有著意想不到的純淨和清澈…提升了風土之美」。
Dagueuneau在1982年建立了自己的酒莊。受到Sancerre的Edmond Vatan，以及師承布根地的Henri Jayer的影響，他是羅瓦河谷實行單一葡萄園理念的先驅之一。釀造的Sauvignon Blanc在橡木桶熟成(20%-25% 新桶)，一般浸渣陳年約8-10個月。
Didier Dagueneau不幸於2008年因飛機失事去世，享年 52 歲。由一直與他工作的兒子Louis-Benjamin及女兒Charlotte繼承了酒莊。Louis-Benjamin於2016年獲法國專業葡萄酒雜誌《La Revue du Vin de France》評選為年度釀酒師，現在酒瓶上都印上他的名字。
Buisson Renard的葡萄園位於Saint Andelain村落上斜坡的中段，土壤蘊含平衡的粘土和燧石。酒標上的插圖很有趣，大概與酒名有關，Buisson Renard的意思是「狐狸的樹叢」。

Buisson Renard是一款柔順、芳香和內斂的佳釀，2019 年也不例外。葡萄園可能位於該區較肥沃的黏土上，具有精緻的鹹感、草本和橡木堅果味。細膩清新，質地柔滑，就像一個溫柔的擁抱。
Didier Dagueneau was a legendary winemaker in Pouilly-Fumé (Loire), who was regarded as making ones of the greatest Sauvignon Blanc in the world. The New York Times described as: "His Sauvignon Blancs had an unexpected purity and clarity to them...his wines did not exalt the stature of the winemaker so much as the beauty of the terroir."
Inspired by the work of Edmond Vatan in Sancerre and Henri Jayer in Burgundy, Dagueuneau set up his domaine in 1982. He was one of the first growers in Loire to experiment with single-parcel wines and practice. His Sauvignon Blanc has always raised in barrels (20%-25% new oak) and typically spend 8-10months on lees.
Sadly, Dagueneau died at age 52 in a plane crash in 2008. His children, Louis-Benjamin, who had been working alongside his father, and Charlotte took over the domaine. In 2016, Louis-Benjamin was voted "Winemaker of the Year" by La Revue du Vin de France (France's serious wine magazine). The bottles now carry Louis-Benjamin's name.
Buisson Renard is a single parcel located mid-slope on the southwest side of Saint Andelain where the soil possesses the perfect balance of clay and flint. The label seems interestingly related to it name. Buisson Renard means "fox bush" in English.

Tasting Notes:
(Vinous' rating: 92 points)
The Buisson Renard tends to be a more supple, more aromatically restrained cuvee in the Dagueneau stable, and the 2019 is no different. It's probably the richer clay soils on this section of the domaine. There's a delicate savory, herbal and oak-derived nutty character. It is fine and fresh with a supple texture that holds the mouth like a gentle embrace. (Drinking window: now - 2032)
