2022 Pouilly-Fumé Silex, Domaine Didier Dagueneau
Or as we call it – “The Lightning Strike”
Brilliant pale gold in the glass, this is Sauvignon Blanc elevated to art. Aromas of grapefruit zest, crushed flint, wild herbs and white peach rise with electric intensity. The palate is taut and vibrant — layers of citrus, stone fruit and smoke unfolding over a razor-sharp mineral backbone. Textural, pure and shimmering with energy, it finishes long, saline and unforgettable.
For when: the food’s fine, the conversation sharp, and the wine the star.
Pairs with: oysters, sashimi, or roast chicken with lemon and tarragon.
If this wine were an element, it’d be lightning striking slate — pure power and precision.
Crafted by Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau, continuing his father Didier’s visionary legacy, Silex is sourced from the flint-rich soils of Saint-Andelain — the heart of Pouilly-Fumé’s most revered terroir. Fermented and aged in bespoke oak casks, the 2022 vintage captures the essence of this legendary vineyard: intensity, tension, and clarity that few whites on earth can match.
