Ch. Doisy-Daene,

Ch. Doisy-Daëne is a Deuxième Cru Classé Barsac estate that produces quintessential Barsac with the emphasis on finesse, poise and elegance, rather than power and force. The property has been in the expert hands of the legendary Dubourdieu family since 2000.
This is pristine stock sourced and shipped direct from the château in 2014. The levels and appearance are excellent when you consider it is now 40 years old. Like many distinguished, elderly Sauternes, it has shed some of its richness but still packs a punch in both content and intensity. There is more today of the caramel and dried fruit side, rather than those marmalade notes more typical of younger Sauternes and Barsacs. It tastes exquisite on its own, and would make a very fine match with well-chosen, not too sweet, puddings, or perhaps best simply with some dried fruit.

Ch. Doisy-Daene,
For laying down,
Nothing better than a fresh glass of Sauternes!! Every time I have one I just think “why do I not have this more often!!”. Following from great 2001-2005-2009-2010 the 2011 is yet again a very strong Sauternes vintage and Doisy Daene is one of the best when it comes to the combination of both elegance and freshness. Although sweet it is one of these wines that drinks effortlessly. Lovely perfumed sweet nose, pineapples and peach. A touch sweeter than usual for this wine but extremely well balanced and lovely fresh elegant long finish.

Ch. Doisy-Daene,
Ready, but will keep,
When the original Doisy estate was split up in the 19th century, it was bought by an English gentleman who attached his name to this estate. Today it is owned and run by Pierre and Denis Dubourdieu, who have done more to improve the quality of white Bordeaux than anyone else. Famous for its finesse and poise, these elements have been enhanced by a wonderful richness in Doisy-Dane's 2001. A delightful pure floral aromatic nose is followed by a crisp, balanced palate with fine citrus fruit and hints of crystallised pineapple. Very good indeed. Drink 2006-2015 Limited to one case per cdustomer.

Ch. Doisy-Daene,
Ready, but will improve,
Vibrantly fresh, this glorious wine brims with intense, rich fruit. Firm acidity provides a linear backbone its gorgeous exuberance tapers off on a long and very precise finish. This is a stunning Doisy Dane which has superb potential and, as ever, is superb value for a wine that will last at least until 2025 and almost certainly beyond.

Ch. Doisy-Daene,
For laying down,
There was much more depth and concentration on the nose of this wine, than any of the other five major Sauternes and Barsac we tried at a famous Negociant in Bordeaux. Serious and concentrated on the palate too, some exotic notes of preserved pineapple, mouth-filling fruit, balanced by mouth-watering acidity. Very Barsac in its elegance and very enjoyable and complete as a wine.
Chris Pollington – Private Account Manager Tasting En Primeur Barsac is always hugely enjoyable, and in 2014 none more so than Ch. Doisy-Daëne. The nose shows complex, rich yellow stone fruits with a faint but exciting touch of pineapple - pointing to many levels of complexity as this matures. On the palate there is tremendous density of flavour, focus too, with the acidity absolutely spot on. This acidity is well framed in soft, creamy oak which perfectly matches the weight of the fruit. The finish is expansive, with a spicy whip of white pepper and yet more pure fruit.

Ch. Doisy-Daene,
For laying down,
Very lemony and floral, with precise, delicate aromas and flavours of citrus and saffron. A gentle wine – almost dainty in fact – and very pure, with lipsmacking acidity. Denis Dubourdieu said he won’t likely keep this in barrique for longer than 12 months.

Ch. Doisy-Daene,
For laying down,
A 100% Sauvignon Blanc! ‘It was the first time we ever dared to do it,’ said Denis Dubourdieu. Elegant if reticent nose of lemon jelly, melon and saffron. Extremely rich and concentrated on the palate with a viscous mouthfeel and pure, fresh citrus and sweet spice flavours. Three barriques only were made, with roughly 204g/l residual sugar and 9g/l total acidity. Excellent and racy but lacks the weight provided by Semillon.

Château Doisy-Daëne is a Barsac estate that produces top-class, sweet Bordeaux white wines that are characterised by their finesse and richness.
The property 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. The 18.2 hectares of vineyards underwent extensive replanting in the 1950s and ‘60s, now planted to 86 percent Sémillon and 14% Sauvignon Blanc, at a density of over 7,000 plants per hectare.
In the year 2000 Denis Dubourdieu took over the estate. A legendary figure in Bordeaux wine circles, Denis was best known for pioneering the region’s dry white wines, improving their quality and reputation. Sadly, after being awarded the La Légion d'Honneur by the French government, he passed away in 2016. His two sons, Jean-Jacques and Fabrice have taken over the running of the family’s estates.
The estate produces three wines: a dry white, a classic sweet wine and a special cuvée, L’Extravagant, which is only made in outstanding vintages. It is the estate’s sweet wines which receives most global acclaim; quintessential Barsac with the emphasis on finesse, poise and elegance, rather than power and force.
Classified as a Sauternes 2ème Cru Classé, Ch. Doisy Daëne’s wines can age gracefully for up to 20 years.
