Histoire du domaine
The estate traces its origins to the early 20th century, when Léontine Dagueneau, Valérie Dagueneau’s great-grandmother, founded it. It is situated in Les Berthiers, Saint-Andelain, one of the wine-growing hamlets in the Pouilly-Fumé region. The Dagueneau family has developed its vineyard there over several generations. Serge Dagueneau subsequently ran the estate with his daughters Florence and Valérie. In 2006, Florence and Valérie Dagueneau took over the estate; following Florence’s untimely death, Valérie has ensured its continuity. She is now in charge of winemaking and remains the designated contact for the Vignerons Indépendants. The family estate currently covers 21 hectares and produces wines from Pouilly-Fumé, Pouilly-sur-Loire and the Côtes de la Charité.
La Leontine
La Léontine is a Pouilly-Fumé crafted from a selection of grapes grown on mack-soil terroirs. Vinification and aging in barrels on fine lees give it an identity distinct from the domain's other Pouilly-Fumés. It is marketed as a distinct cuvée under this name.
- Origin of the cuvée name
- Hommage à Léontine, great-grandmother of Valérie Dagueneau and founder of the family estate.
- Style of the cuvée
- Ample, ripe, and structured Pouilly-Fumé, combining richness of texture, freshness, and mineral expression, with an oak influence stemming from barrel aging.
- Position within the range

Histoire de la cuvée
Valérie Dagueneau dedicated this cuvée to her great-grandmother Léontine, who founded the family wine estate at the beginning of the 20th century.
