Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau has masterfully led this exceptional estate dedicated to Sauvignon Blanc since his father's death in September 2008. The use of yeasts selected in their vineyard, tight settling and long aging on lees without racking remain the basis of an absolute quest for the crystalline expression of Sauvignon Blanc, enhanced by precise aging in wood, in barrels larger than cigar barrels (320 l) or tons (600 l). Seven cuvées make up the range: Blanc Etc..., a blend of four plots; Pur Sang, a blend from the Folie sector; Buisson Renard, a plot from Saint-Andelain, more compact; Silex, which displays the crystalline purity of flint clays; not forgetting the extremely rare Clos du Calvaire (20 ares planted at 14,000 vines per hectare, uprooted in 2009 and replanted in another direction at 10,000 vines per hectare), and Astéroïde, from a single-vineyard harvested always very ripe, aged in glass globes to preserve freshness and “be as close as possible to the terroir”, according to the winemaker. The Sancerre de Chavignol comes from the heart of the grand cru of the Côte des Monts Damnés.

The nose of this 2020 Silex presents magnificent notes of toast, fresh butter, and smoke against a backdrop of rich aromas of peach, yellow apple, and mandarin. On the palate, the wine is broad and dense with deep, powerful flavors of apricot, pear, and citrus, with a smoky character that lingers on the finish. Mineral notes creep in, accompanied by increasing acidity, giving it a taut, citrusy style.
