Three bottles only shipped! If you are reading these words, you’re in very exclusive company; we received three bottles with this allocation. 2018 marks the first (and, so far, only) release of Memento Mori, Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau’s tribute to his father Didier, 10 years after his death. Put simply, this is a draconian selection from some of the oldest vines that go to make Silex. The winemaking does not change, so what you are getting is the incredibly rare, crème de la crème of Silex, with all that entails, bottled from a single cask. The poignant name comes from a Latin (Stoic) phrase, serving as a reminder of the inevitability of death (and therefore an encouragement to act accordingly and do what’s right!). It’s an extremely rare wine in every sense.

Reviews

“In homage to Didier Dagueneau, who passed away in 2008, the Memento Mori cuvée was created, a white wine of incredible density that its insistent mineral depth will carry over time. It will evolve serenely over the next thirty years.”
