Silex 2018 - Didier Dagueneau

Tasting notes

Silex from the iconic Dagueneau estate is a vibrant and intense Sauvignon Blanc of rare and nearly unmatched quality, complexity and longevity.

It is imbued with innate richness of fruit, superb aromatic nuance and a raw mineral power that is often utterly captivating.

These wines are at their best after several years of cellaring.

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Didier Dagueneau was recognised as a brilliant winemaker and the best producer in the appelation.

Dagueneau estate makes four different dry white wines, all Pouilly Fumes.

The basic wine is the En Chailloux, a blend from several vineyards, which is softer and easier drinking. Next up in quality is Buisson Renard, more flinty in style, but still round, and more ageworthy.

The remaining two wines are both superstars from single vineyards, and are barrel fermented. Both come from slate soils with one being called Silex, and the other known as Pur Sang (the french for thoroughbred - a reference to the horse tilling).
