I don’t know if it’s the five years of age, but it was short in the mouth despite promising beginnings. The nose was absolutely lovely. — 4 years ago
My last bottle of the 2020, one of the riper versions I’ve had of this consistently excellent cuvée. Such deeply ripe gooseberry fruit that it crosses over into tropical. But there’s loads of freshness in the form of limestoney mineral scents. Ripe and deep on entry, but then the sneaky acids and the minerality clamps down, making the finish mouthwatering. Terrific accompaniment to our simple broiled haddock weeknight dinner. — 3 months ago

2017 vintage. Opened two bottles for the FLB (Friday Lunch Bunch) and decanted both. Small amount of sed observed in both bottles. Tasted after 15 minutes and 2 hours. Medium body with medium heavy body intensity. Cinnamon, fresh mud, dark plum, allspice and tobacco coming through loud and clear. It was two bottles of this for a group of 9 or one bottle of 2019 Rostaing La Viallière for the same group... choices...3.27.26. — 2 months ago
Dagueneau has a beautiful range of wines—with the “Silex” label at the top. This “Blanc, etc.” is considered a more accessible, youthful bottling made from biodynamically farmed, younger vines, vinified & aged in stainless steel for a fresh & focused profile.
In the glass, this wine is pale lemon, with crystalline notes of gooseberry, honeydew, quince, starfruit, kumquat, lemon zest, chamomile, fennel, next to oystershell, gunflint & wet stones, lifted by a racy acidity and balanced by a medium alcohol and body.
It offers purity, texture & tension as well as versatility in terms of food-pairing prospects. — 4 months ago
