Didier Dagueneau Silex 2022
White
Pouilly-Fumé, France
8.0

Crystalline precision meets formidable intensity on this clay-flint expression. The attack shows immediate grip, tightening through a steely, compressed mid-palate that speaks pure terroir. Citrus pith, crushed stones and garrigue herbs emerge gradually, but the wine's backbone dominates at this stage. Unforgiving now, this demands patience through 2030.

→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.
