A little pretentious with the appellation (it could be Pouilly-Fum�), but nothing but great wine in the bottle. Aromas of grapefruit, apple, mustard and wet stones are framed by gentle notes of cinnamon and toast. The palate is louder as it sizzles with razor-crisp orange, apple, peach and grapefruit, all with a proper mineral, herbal edge. Rock solid, but…

Only the least of Dagueneau’s wines is under $30, but a darn fine wine it is. Smoke, green herbs, flint and lime aromas and green fern, honeysuckle and powdered quartz flavors make for a complex drink that finishes ultraclean.

Big and bold, with powerful aromas of apple, lemon curd, melon and toast. Features the ripest fruit going, and that results in tropical-influenced flavors of pineapple and pink grapefruit. Playing second fiddle is a cinnamon-spice undercurrent with a hint of banana. Imported by Beaune Imports.
