Drink To: 2023-2033

Based in St Landelin in the Nièvre, Didier Dagueneau, a world-famous winegrower, left his mark on the Pouilly Fumé appellation. Considered by many the "Pope of Sauvignon", he created legendary cuvées of incredible purity of expression. At the same time, he distinguished himself in the South West on the Jurançon vineyard by creating the Les Jardins de Babylone estate on the hillsides of the village of Aubertin, and renowned for the particular vivacity of these wines. He died in 2008 in a tragic plane accident, this genius winemaker and disciple of Henri Jayer has not been forgotten. It is now his daughter Charlotte Dagueneau and his son Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau who took over the torch of this exceptional domain. The elitist but also artisanal spirit of the Dagueneau estate is thus carried on.

Rebecca Gibb MW

While this was a warm season leading to richness in many wines from the region, the Silex 2020 shows ripe fruit, but there's no sense of being overblown. The fine line that races through many wines relying on flint-based parcels is there, carrying the nectarine and oak-derived vanilla flavors, but its influence never tips into austerity nor firmness. There's a sense of tenderness that runs through its core while remaining light in body.
