Following the passing of Didier Dagueneau in 2008, his legacy lives on through his children, Louis-Benjamin and Charlotte, who now oversee the winery in the Loire Valley. Dagueneau`s Sauvignon Blanc wines from the Pouilly-Fumé appellation have garnered a dedicated following. Among their cult cuvées, the 2018 Silex stands out as an iconic expression. This wine gracefully unfolds upon entry, revealing its accessible and harmonious character. The silex (flint) soil imparts firmness, lending structure and a steely tension. The wine`s power and concentration intertwine, leading to an almost waxy texture on the finish. Expect flavours of spiced apples, almonds, and pastry that linger on the palate, showcasing the wine`s exceptional depth and complexity.

Perhaps the most famous of the Dagueneau cuvées, the 2018 Silex is flowing and accessible on entry, but then it coils and tightens. The silex (flint) soil gives firmness, imbuing structure and steely tension. Power and concentration combine, providing an almost waxy texture on the finish. Flavors of spiced apples, almonds and pastry linger. It`s just not quite as long as expected. Tasted over three days.Rebecca Gibb1st August 2021
