    Didier Dagueneau

    About Didier Dagueneau

    Often described as the enfant terrible of the Loire, Didier Dagueneau came from a winemaking family but his first career as a motorcycle sidecar racer couldn’t have been more different. A series of accidents forced him to re-evaluate his career choice and led him to found his own estate in the heart of Pouilly-Fumé.in 1982.

    With that same fearlessness that he had as a racer, Didier became one of the boldest mavericks of the Loire, never failing to push the boundaries and experiment with new techniques. He was one of the first growers to experiment with single vineyard wines and also tried biodynamic practices, natural yeast fermentation and using ungrafted vines. In short – endless trial and error to make the best wines that meet his exacting standards. He even designed and customized cigar-shaped casks that maximizes lees contact.

    Didier tragically died in a plane accident in 2008 and was succeeded by his children Louis-Benjamin and Charlotte, who, true to Didier’s non-conformist spirit, decided to withdraw from the Pouilly-Fumé appellation since the 2017 vintage following accusations that the domaine’s wines do not fit the standards of the appellation.

    Vinous (94-95)

    The 2020 Pur Sang is a compact and focused style with excellent concentration. It is as pure as glacial water. While tender and charming at first, it offers excellent precision, which is not a word you'd normally associate with the warm 2020 season. There is fine tension and structure with an integrated use of nutty oak combining with a fresh nectarine fragrance on the finish. Tasted as a tank sample, this is a 3-ha vineyard that's about 5km away from Dagueneau HQ, sitting on flint over a bedrock of chalk.

    Wine Advocate (93-94+)

    From an enclave just outside the cuverie in Saint Andelain, the Dagueneau 2009 Blanc Fume de Pouilly Silex delivers an almost inordinate diversity of floral, herbal, citrus (predominately grapefruit), and pit-fruit (predominately nectarine) elements, with the bitterness of fruit pits, smoky pungency of red currant and crushed stone, as well as notes of shrimp shell reduction and iodine inflecting a long, bittersweet, yet at the same time vibrant, buoyant finish. This silken textured seducer should gain with time in bottle and be worth following for ten or a dozen years.

    Decanter (94)

    From almost 4ha of flint-scattered clays around the mound of St Andelain, this is light gold in colour with a fine-meshed weave of green plant and soft spring leaf scents, full of copse coolness. In the mouth it’s a seamless pool of those green plant and leaf notes, fleshed out with quiet green orchard and citrus fruits. As ever, it's a remarkably unshowy, undemonstrative, stealthy wine, despite its fame and the reputed showiness of the variety. All is held in check by those clinging, cossetting cool clays. Give it time in decanter, glass or mouth, and you’ll see figures and allusions quietly stirring.

    Cool and without obvious richness. Really refreshing and with great substance and density. More approachable in youth than I remember some Silex bottlings. You could happily enjoy this layered wine now but it should age well too. It really does taste flinty!!

    Vinous (93)

    The 2019 Pouilly Fumé Silex shows an initial tenderness, sitting quietly and not shouting that it's made it into your glass. This is a wine that has its act together, feeling integrated and balanced with plentiful concentration and a savory long finish. A delicate dill note, which is a characteristic of oaked Sauvignon peeks out amid the hush.

    Vinous (93-94)

    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.
