Didier Dagueneau Vin De France Silix 2022 750ml

The wine that defines Dagueneau’s legacy.

‘Silex’ is the most iconic of the domaine’s cuvées, drawn exclusively from flint-laced soils on the north-facing slopes of Saint-Andelain. This is Sauvignon Blanc taken to its absolute edge - structured, stony, almost elemental in its intensity. It’s not just the terroir that speaks, but the way it’s been interpreted: low yields, mature vines (35–65 years old), wild fermentation in custom oak ‘cigar’ barrels and glass Wineglobes, with a long, slow élevage that shapes the wine without dulling its nerve.

In 2022, the Silex is laser-cut and tightly coiled, showing that classic Dagueneau precision - white florals, citrus pith, a flash of green mango and crushed herbs—wrapped around a spine of pure, mineral tension. There’s a quiet richness to it too, but it sits deep in the wine, waiting for time to pull it forward.
