Dagueneau 'Silex' 2018

The wines from Didier Dagueneau are highly regarded and some of the most sought-after wines in the wider central Loire (including Sancerre); and arguably the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world.

Review

"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." - 93pts, Vinous
