If you're wondering why this domaine has earned such a strong reputation, Silex offers a clear answer. It's the flagship wine from Dagueneau, known for its purity, strong mineral character, and long ageing potential. Named after the flint-rich soils it's grown on, Silex comes from north-facing slopes on the hill of Saint-Andelain, where the vines are between 35 and 65 years old. Yields are kept low to ensure concentration, and the wine is fermented and aged in a mix of Dagueneau’s unique cigar-shaped barrels and neutral glass Wineglobes, which help reduce the need for added sulphur. The result is a wine of depth and precision that often needs five to ten years to fully open up.
