Serge Dagueneau
The Winery
How can I describe the many steps of winemaking? From the first vine stock planted to the bottle you hold in your hands: it’s my family’s story. The story of four generations of winemakers so in love with their land that they want to express its very essence, it’s the hard work and skill of the people by my side and our willingness to give the very best of ourselves every day of the year.
As the head of a 52 acre/21 hectares family-owned operation, my work ethic builds on the past, perpetuating the know-how passed on to me by my elders, and leads us to the future, by integrating new agricultural and winegrowing techniques with a caring respect for our land.
Let yourself be seduced by the rarity of our hundred-year-old Pouilly-sur-Loire vines and the aromatic diversity of our Pouilly-Fumé, and discover our surprising Côtes de La Charité. Our cuvées each give you a story, pleasure, and a moment to share.
The Family
That the name of Dagueneau is today incontrovertibly linked with the Pouilly-Fumé appellation is of course down to one man, the late Didier Dagueneau (1956 – 2008). His story is already well-known. What is sometimes forgotten is that he was but one of a broad clan of vignerons working in this appellation who also carried this name, many of whom (in truth, surely all of them) were related. Two of them work in near-adjacent cellars located in Les Berthiers, a small hamlet on the road which leads up to Saint-Andélain, which was where Didier chose to establish himself when he returned to the appellation.
One of these is Jean-Claude Dagueneau, Didier’s father, his cellars sitting overlooking the crossroads at the bottom of the road before it climbs through the hamlet and up the hill. The second, almost his neighbour, is Serge Dagueneau, Jean-Claude’s brother and therefore Didier’s uncle. While today the Dagueneau crown, if there could be such a thing, rests lightly on the head of Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau, Didier’s son,
the wines of Serge Dagueneau and his daughters should not be overlooked. The domaine has a long history in the region, and the wines have a strapping character.
