Didier Dagueneau Pouilly-Fumé Silex 2007

Blog

The best Pouilly-Fumé I’ve tasted in a long while—the 2007 Silex was indeed a special bottle, the last vintage Dagueneau crafted before a crash in an ultralight plane cut his life and career short. Full and nuanced without being weighty, ever changing and evolving in the glass. Lemon curd, apple blossom, dried honey, and dried apricots. In the mouth the profile is reminiscent of a still Champagne, with toast and and lees co-mingling with candied pink grapefruit, dried thyme and a flourish of smoky minerality on the finish. 12.5% ABV
