Deep gold in colour, with aromas of rich apricot and peach, with nuances of caramel and citrus fruits. The palate is vibrant and intensely sweet, with flavours of dried figs, toffee and notes of dried nuts supported by vibrant acidity. Pair with rich desserts. 

Didier Dagueneau used to be known as the "wild man of Pouilly", not only for his hirsute appearance (long curly hair and a dramatic beard) but also for his ideas. He was recognised as the best producer in the appelation. The motorcycling fanatic Didier still raised the hackles of his Pouilly neighbours by accusing them of bottling wine cocktails - a mixture of wine and sugar. He crusaded to redeem the reputation of Pouilly Fume by slashing yields in half and tilling his vineyards with horses instead of using a tractor. The secret of this perfectionist's success lied in his scrupulous attention to detail at every stage of the winemaking process, from vineyard management (biodynamic since 1993) to the cellar, where work proceeds in textbook fashion.

Having died at the early age of 52 in a flying accident in September 2008, the number of his wines available is now extremely limiited.

This dessert wine, made in collaboration with his friend Guy Pautrat, is extremely rare, and often lauded as one of the finest sweet wines available.
