La Léontine is a special cuvée dedicated to the family’s great-grandmother Léontine, who founded the farm at the beginning of the 20th century. The grapes are grown in the village on Kimmeridgian marl soil, which gives the wine a distinctive mineral structure.

The 2022 vintage was hand-harvested, barrel-fermented and aged on fine lees. The wine was unfiltered to preserve its natural character.

The aroma reveals notes of sweetened lemon peel, fresh pineapple, passion fruit, gooseberry, grapefruit and orange peel. There are also hints of apple blossom, elderberry syrup, yellow peach, vanilla, fresh hazelnuts, honey and dried lime blossom.

In the mouth, the wine is refreshing, with a clearly pronounced citrus note: sweetened lemon peel, lime peel, grapefruit, with a zesty and refreshing acidity. The mid-palate reveals exotic fruits and sour but pleasant stone fruits (peaches, apricot, passionflower, gooseberries), hints of fresh hazelnuts, honey and lime blossom.

About the manufacturer

Founded by Serge Dagueneau, the farm is alive and well today in the hands of women – first and foremost their daughter Valérie, who continues the family heritage while bringing it to a contemporary level. Their approach is one of sensitivity and rationality, but also a strong, persistent love for the land. The family consistently strives for sustainability, having already obtained the HEV3 certificate and begun biodynamic trials, thus demonstrating that tradition and innovation can coexist harmoniously. The women who run this farm are true champions of quality, naturalness and a vision for the future.
This family is not only a new generation of leaders, but also women whose legacy goes back much further. Their grandmother, like many village women, took care of the vineyards during difficult times, ensuring the survival of the family farm and passing on a love of the land. It was not just a job – it was a calling that the current generation of Dagueneau women have inherited. Today, each of their vineyards, each bottle – is not only a reflection of the terroir, but also a story of female determination, dedication and the ability to keep tradition alive while boldly moving into the future.
