Silex by Didier Dagueneau is undoubtedly one of the best glassfuls of Sauvignon Blanc anyone is likely to encounter. The reputation of his wines has grown to such iconic status that now the wines even on release year are extremely hard to come by. Monsieur Dadueneau ensures low yields and a rigorous selection of fruit to produce his highly complex wines. This is an aged, ready to drink 2016 vintage.
Silex is named after the type of rock that the vines are grown on and partly why this is one of the world’s greatest expressions of Sauvignon. The wine is complex with exotic and flinty flavours combined with oodles of grassy, mineral notes wrapped in a full-bodied, smooth and creamy texture; elegance and balance personified. If you’re lucky to ever get to taste a bottle you’ll see why this wine is hallowed by wine lovers and critics all around the world.
