You can count me as another Dagueneau fan. Yes, Silex is expensive, but all of his other available bottlings cost less, and to me, some can be as good or even better.
I’ve been drinking it more recently. In fact, the more I drink it, the more I’m starting to think it may be my favorite or second-favorite (and equally terroir-transparent) white variety.
Yes-old and new world as it’s my wife’s favorite grape. We had an excellent NZ SB-St. Claire in Curacao. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be available in the US.
I love balanced SB that is not too feral or overly ripe. I really want to try some of the Austrians mentioned here recently, but access to them in TX sucks.
Sancerre, White Bdx, HL Two Dogs, etc. all welcome in my home.
