Silex 2009 - Didier Dagueneau (magnum, 1.5 l)

Tasting notes

"From an enclave just outside the cuverie in Saint Andelain, the Dagueneau 2009 Blanc Fume de Pouilly Silex delivers an almost inordinate diversity of floral, herbal, citrus (predominately grapefruit), and pit-fruit (predominately nectarine) elements, with the bitterness of fruit pits, smoky pungency of red currant and crushed stone, as well as notes of shrimp shell reduction and iodine inflecting a long, bittersweet, yet at the same time vibrant, buoyant finish.

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Domaine Didier Dagueneau is renowned as one of the finest producers in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation and has earned a global reputation for its exceptional Sauvignon Blanc wines. Didier Dagueneau, widely recognized as a brilliant winemaker, revolutionized the region’s winemaking practices before his tragic passing in 2008. Today, his children continue his legacy, producing wines that capture the essence of their terroir with remarkable precision and care.

The estate produces four distinct dry white wines, all from Pouilly-Fumé. The entry-level wine, En Chailloux, is a blend from various vineyards. It offers a soft, easy-drinking profile, making it an ideal introduction to the estate's style. Buisson Renard, the next step up, offers a flinty, more mineral-driven style, with a touch of roundness and a greater ability to age gracefully.

However, the real stars of the estate are the single-vineyard wines, Silex and Pur Sang. Both wines are fermented in barrels and come from slate-rich soils, contributing to their depth and complexity. Silex is known for its intense minerality, with delicate fruit aromas and a crisp acidity. Pur Sang, meaning "thoroughbred" in French, is a tribute to the horse-drawn plowing that once took place on these vineyards. This wine is rich, structured, and has an exceptional aging potential, with layers of fruit, honey, and a distinct texture that evolves beautifully over time.
