Across the Loire from Sancerre. The 'fumé' refers to silex (gunflint) soil — a smoky, struck-match minerality. Didier Dagueneau's Silex and Pur Sang are among the world's great Sauvignon Blancs. Now produced by son Louis-Benjamin after Didier's death in 2008. BC importer for Dagueneau: Skye Import [NEEDS VERIFICATION].
