Château Doisy-Daëne

Château Doisy-Daëne is a Barsac estate that produces top-class, sweet Bordeaux whites that are characterised by their finesse and richness.

It takes the second part of its name from an English gentleman who bought it when the original Doisy estate was split up in the 19th century. Today Doisy-Daëne is owned and run by Pierre and Denis Dubourdieu.

Doisy-Daëne was extended in the 1950s, with the purchase of a parcel of vines that came from what is now Château Doisy-Dubroca, and there are now 15 hectares of vineyards planted with 70% Sémillon, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Muscadelle. The grapes are picked in successive ";tries"; and are then pressed with the juice being fermented in oak casks (one third new) and then remaining in cask for another 18-24 months.

Doisy-Daëne produces quintessential Barsacs with the emphasis on finesse, poise and elegance, rather than power and force. The wines from the best vintages can age gracefully for up to 20 years. Doisy-Daëne is classified as a Sauternes 2ème Cru Classé.
