The founder of the Domain was Didier Dagueneau. He sought to make "the best Sauvignon blanc in the world".
His vineyard methods were a combination of the demanding extremely low yields, hand-harvesting in several passages with the unusual, such as using horses to plow the soil between vines. He was described as a risk-taker and an experimenter with a perfectionist attitude to his work, which severely cut yields to achieve greater maturity.
The domain is now owned by his 2 children: Benjamin and Charlotte.
