Didier Dagueneau

I was stunned to hear the news of Didier Dagueneau’s death in a flying accident. Dagueneau made intense, iconoclastic wines like nobody else in the world, and he will be sorely missed. Visits to his cellars in St-Andelain have always been some of the highlights of my Loire journeys over the years, and my thoughts are with his family in this sad time.
