Sourced from a south-facing single vineyard on flint and clay over chalk, the 2018 Pur Sang is all white flowers and spiced apple pastry. Seemingly effortless and silken, its Sauvignon edges rounded out in barrels. It offers excellent concentration on the mid-palate, a line of acidity acting like a thread and holding the core together like a ball. Delectably textured, with a hint of tannic sensation holding the mouth gently on a lengthy conclusion that's drawn-out and precise. A complex, multifaceted wine.

13' Louis -Benjamin Dagueneau Pur Sang. 12. 5 ALC. I want to thank @Ron R from across the pond...celebrating his daughter's wedding. That's again for turning me on to this simply amazing SB. Drinking wonderfully now with another decade in it.

Very nice wine, notes of papaya, durian, grapefruit. Crisp, clean tasting wine. Hard to tell it's a Sauv Blanc for me, fantastic bottle.

Another 2009 vintage. Despite the age and being so light in body, many layers of flavor. Pear, citrus, wet stone and the perfect amount of acid.

A ton of Granny Smith and grapefruit upfront followed by a wave of mineral, very chalky finish. Amazing
