The only wine produced by Dagueneau from the 2021 harvest, XXI is blended from each of the domaine’s terroirs, including those parcels that would usually go into Pur Sang, Buisson-Renard, Les Monts-Damnés, and of course, Silex. There’s even a drop of fruit from the legendary Clos du Calvaire in Saint-Andelain, replanted in 2011. Aged on lees for 10 months in a variety of oak vessels, it’s a super racy, vibrant wine immediately redolent of all kinds of citrus, fresh herbs and those salty, chalky, mineral Dagueneau clues. The texture is compact and svelte—almost reminiscent of the domaine’s wines of old before the onset of warmer and earlier harvests—with bracing tangy freshness on the long, juicy, pithy close. A great success from an otherwise dispiriting vintage.
