Didier Dagueneau Silex 2018
White
Pouilly-Fumé, France
7.7
WineSaint
Mineral-driven and precise, though lacking the customary power. The signature flint backbone emerges gradually, framed by crisp acidity and waxy richness. Apple, almond and subtle spice notes build through the mid-palate, but the finish feels somewhat truncated for this legendary site.

→The late Didier Dagueneau remade Pouilly-Fumé's reputation almost single-handedly, pushing Sauvignon Blanc to a seriousness few thought possible in the Loire. His estate remains one of France's most closely watched addresses for white wine.
