Rarely exported as there is so little made, we only get a few bottles even at the best of times. It was always Didier Dagueneau’s dream to make a great Sancerre from the legendary, chalky slopes of Chavignol. He finally acquired a half-hectare of the legendary Les Monts Damnés vineyard in the late 1990s, smack-bang in the middle of the slope (very close to Gérard Boulay’s famed Comtesse parcel). He soon began planting it to his exacting specifications. This location is south-facing and extremely steep, with white soil packed with chalk. The historic name of the parcel or climat (within Les Monts Damnés) is Les Vignes Blanches. Despite the aspect, Dagueneau notes that it is one of the cooler terroirs of Les Monts Damnés.

Reviews

“When you taste at Dagueneau, Le Mont Damné comes along at the end of a line-up of Pouilly Fumés and seems to be oh-so-tender, caressing the palate with its gentle, fine, chalky texture. A sophisticated yet quiet style, this 0.6ha parcel on the mid-slope of this famous Sancerre vineyard was planted back in 2002. While a little closed at this stage, pretty aromas are just itching to blossom, and they are reminiscent of elderflower, ripe apple, honeysuckle and an almost exotic note. There's also a subtle pastry character from time on lees. Acidity flows naturally on the chalky finish.”
