Description
Didier Dagueneau is a world-famous French winemaker who has left his mark on Pouilly-Fumé. He passed away in 2008, but his son Benjamin, who had been working for his father in the company for years, took over the company with the same passion and talent. Every wine lover knows the magnificent Pouilly-Fumés from Domaine Dagueneau. They are among the best and most sought-after Sauvignon Blanc wines and are on the menu of every serious star restaurant. The Rolls Royce of Pouilly Fumé. We can only obtain a few bottles of this. This is for the simple reason that only a very limited number of bottles are produced and then distributed to all the top wine merchants around the world. The Silex is the most special version.
The Silex is produced only from plots high up on the slopes of Saint Andelain and only from vineyards that have large amounts of silex (clay/slate). The vines here vary from 20-50 years old and are pruned to extremely lower yields than in the other vineyards. The wine is aged in oak barrels (450/600 litres) and of course in Dagueneau's famous cigar-shaped barrels. The Silex is the absolute premier Grand Cru among the Pouilly Fumé
A wonderfully intense bouquet of flowers and resinous herbs rises from the glass of Dagueneau Fume de Pouilly Silex in anticipation of the bittersweet presence of Mediterranean herbs and white flowers with citrus notes. All this ends with an impressive finale. This exceptional pouilly fumé naturally has the unique minerality that makes Dagueneau wine so unique and sought after. The Silex is perhaps the most special and sought after Pouilly Fumé. The Silex is extremely scarce and can be enjoyed even more if you manage to let it rest for a while and then it becomes optimal enjoyment. This is a magnum of 1.5 liters. Even tastier and has an even longer drinking window .

Domaine Didier Dagueneau is located in Saint-Andelain which falls under the Pouilly-Fumé (dry white wine type with AOC classification). The area is characterized by the mainly flint clay soil, partly responsible for the characteristic taste of the wines from this area.
Since the death of the eponymous owner Didier Dagueneau in 2008, the winery has been run by Benjamin Dagueneau. His father Didier was known in the wine world for his great wines. His son Benjamin is at least as talented and continues to work passionately in the way his father did. Of course you can taste that in the fantastic wines that this winery produces. The real wine lovers certainly know the beautiful Pouilly-Fumés of Domaine Dagueneau. They are among the most sought after and the best Sauvignon Blanc wines and are on the menu of renowned restaurants.
