R.I.P. Didier Dagueneau




A black hole in the wine world with the sudden death of the great Didier Dagueneau; he crashed his microlite in the Dordogne on Wednesday.

As Jancis Robinson initially posted, somehow it seems like a fitting way to go for such an adventurous person. Still, what a great loss.

As I wrote only a few weeks ago, he was one of the great eccentrics of the wine world...

R.I.P.
