DIDIER DAGUENEAU<br />
Didier Dagueneau used to be known as the “wild man of Pouilly”, not only<br />
for his exuberant personality but also for his radical ideas. His dedication<br />
to show the world what the Sauvignon Blanc grape was capable of made<br />
him cut the yields by 50%, receiving biodynamic certification in 1993,<br />
and pay relentless attention to all other production aspects. Tragically<br />
enough he died in an accident in 2008 and the production of his<br />
legendary wines is today overseen by his son Louis – Benjamin who<br />
continues with the same dedication.<br />

DE LADOUCETTE<br />
This is the largest and arguably the most famous Pouilly-Fumé estate<br />
around. It has been in the hands of the Comte Lafond and Ladoucette<br />
families since 1787 when the Comte Lafond purchased the estate from<br />
the illegitimate daughter of the French king, Louis XV. They make several<br />
high quality wines but it’s the Baron de L that is the most prominent in the<br />
yachting industry; a very fine, elegant crisp wine with true minerality and<br />
complexity.<br />

HENRI BOURGEOIS<br />
For 10 generations, the Bourgeois family has devoted its passion and<br />
values to Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir to craft wines of unique<br />
expression. Rooted in the village of Chavignol, on the greatest terroirs of<br />
Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, they work on a mosaic of many vine plots.<br />
Each plot is isolated and worked in respect of its origin to reveal, in the<br />
most precise and true way, the expression of its terroir - either<br />
Kimmerigdian marls, Flint or Limestone Clay soils. The wines are elegant,<br />
complex and show true sense of place.<br />
