Dagueneau Disciple... Jean-Philippe and Stephanie Agisson

Rising Stars in Sancerre...

Jean-Philippe and Stephanie Agisson's wines are slowing finding their way into the wine scenes by word of mouth from Sommelier's and Loire purists.

This micro-Domaine works just 1.5 hectares and crafts just four wines.  Their first vintage produced was 2017 with a scant amount of bottles produced.  But, make no mistake, their lack of wine or vintages under their belts does not represent their skill.  JP Agisson worked for 10 years with Alphonse Mellot at Domaine de la Moussiere in Sancerre crafting exceptional Sauvignon Blanc cuvees.  In 2018, Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau hired JP Agisson as head cellarmaster, of which is Agisson's full-time job.

Sancerre 'Equilibre' - Their flagship wine and inaugural bottling.  From grapes grown on a one-hectare plot on Kimmeridgian soil. Jean-Philippe tends his vines organically with biodynamic principles: harvest by hand, direct press, and aging on lees in older barrels. The wines are bottled unfiltered and unfined.

Specializing solely in Sauvignon Blanc, Agisson's wines have excellent clarity with remarkable depth, balance, and complexities.  Kind of sounds like the wines of a more famous Domaine with greater price points?!

2022 Jean-Philippe and Stephanie Agisson Sancerre Cuvee Equilibre
Vinous 95
"Unadulterated and pure, the 2022 Equilibre is refined and elegant. While ripe with fresh apricot flavors meeting elderflower, it has a sense of delicacy and calm. Beautiful from release, ripe acidity provides balance and refreshment."
