Domaine Didier Dagueneau 2023 "Blanc Etc" Vin Blanc, Loire Valley

The fruit here is multi-layered and very complex with some exotic notes in the nose, citrus aromatics and a hint of flint.  The length of this wine is impressive and its persistence is memorable.

A note on the label.  The music was composed by Francois Cristin, a musician friend of Didier’s.  It is written for trumpet (b flat major) and french horn (f major).  The first line is the theme, which is taken from a famous song by Georges Brassens, and the next four lines are Cristin’s personal interpretation of that theme.
