Agisson S. et JP.

Agisson S. et JP., France - Loire

Almost nobody knows Agisson, but the whole world knows the wines he makes for Domaine Didier Dagueneau. That's right, Jean-Philippe is Dagueneau's «winemaker», Louis-Benjamin's right-hand man. His own vineyard is tiny and the vines, the main protagonists, are tended devotedly, naturally in an organic, sometimes even biodynamic manner. The cellar is small, but big enough and everything you need to make great wines is there. Passion, that's right, there's a lot of it at the Agissons. Directly pressed, mostly aged in aroma-neutral barrels and increasingly also in chrome steel on the lees, Jean-Philippe's goal is to bring his terroirs to the bottle as unadulterated as possible. His wines should have energy, structure and, yes, even rough edges - personality.
