Barsac
Barsac is one of the communes of the Sauternes appellation. With marginally flatter land and soils of red sand and light gravels, it adjoins the northern boundary of the commune of Sauternes. There are just over 800 hectares under vine, producing nearly two million bottles in an average year. Stylistically the wines are arguably a little lighter in style than those of Sauternes.

Light gold in colour, this offers aromas of honey and lemon confit. The palate is rich and textured, but with greater freshness and vivacity than many a Sauternes – meaning this is a great option as an apéritif, as well as a classic dessert wine. Drink now to 2025.

It is impossible to choose between the two Doisys this year, so the only option is to have them both. Doisy Daëne provides deep, rich intensity, notes of marmalade, honey and orange peel with, most importantly, just enough freshening acidity to cleanse the palate and provide wonderful lift on an intense and invigorating finish.

Gary Owen - Private Account Manager
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
The aromatics display pure honey, minerals, occasionally a faint scent of spearmint and white peach, most with spellbinding precision. On the palate, Berenice Lurton has some stupendous lots at her disposal, with ample botrytis, ethereal definition, one or two more powerful, quite spicy lots and others that are shorter and will undoubtedly lend the blend an acidic cut. It will be a joy to taste this after bottling.
