  • Goedhuis, April 2015, Score: 89-91

    This flagship Barsac from the Dubourdieu family is a lovely balance between apricot and peaches, with refined sweetness. The characteristic freshness of the vintage gives a beautifully uplifting feel.

  • Neal Martin, April 2015, Score: 95-97

    The Château Doisy-Daëne 2014 is bestowed with 144 grams per liter residual sugar and a pH of 3.7. It is much more introspective compared to the Coutet at the moment, perhaps because of less residual, but it is fragrant and ethereal with wild honey, yellow flower and orange blossom scents developing with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with superb tension and fruit intensity on the entry. It is more linear than recent vintages, minerally with a lovely twist of sour lemon imparting tension and vivacity on the crystalline finish. This is a fabulous Doisy-Daëne from Denis Dubourdieu.

  • James Suckling, March 2015, Score: 90-91

    This shows lots of dried fruits and intensity. Full body, medium sweetness and a long, flavorful finish. Plenty of dried fruit character. Very dense.

  • Decanter, April 2015, Score: 93

    Marmaladey botrytis bolsters ripe citrus and honeyed tropical fruit aromas and flavours. Rich, tactile and obviously sweeter than the average 2014 Sauternes, but a laser beam of acidity keeps this dancing on the palate. Drink: 2018-2035

  • Matthew Jukes, May 2015, Score: 17+

    (85 Semillon, 15 Sauvignon Blanc) Very sweet and cloying initially but lovely bracing acidity and delightful lemon pith notes arrive on the finish, it’s just a pity that there is a hole in the middle. It will fill in with time, so I am happy to recommend this wine.

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2015, Score: 17

    Light and clean on the nose. Pears and riches and very nervy. Exciting wine that is not playing the concentration card. Neat and correct. Drink 2020-2035

Doisy Daëne is located in Barsac and has been owned by the Dubordieu family since 1924. It had been run by Monsieur White Bordeaux, the renowned oenologist, Dénis Dubordieu, until his death in 2016. Dubordeiu consulted for a great many other châteaux across the region, and revolutionised white wine winemaking by introducing the importance of cool temperature macerations (steeping the grape skins with their juice before fermentation) to gently extract extra flavour. It is no doubt that this technique has also increased the aromatic profile of Doisy Daëne.Read less

Region

Sauternes

It is not an exaggeration to say that these are the greatest sweet wines in the world. They are the result of a serendipitous marriage of grape variety, location, annual weather conditions and human care and determination. The vineyards are located on the banks of the cool spring-fed Ciron river which, in autumn, flows into the warmer tidal Garonne and creates rolling evening mists which clothe the vines until the afternoon sun burns them off the following day. This cycle creates perfect conditions for the development of botrytis cinerea or noble rot, and the resulting grape juice is a super concentrated sweet, ambrosial nectar which makes the most heavenly and complex wines with extraordinary ability to age. In 1855 the wines were classified into first and second growths, with Ch d'Yquem rightly receivingits own super status of premier grand cru. Other stunning wines include Chx Sudiraut, Rieussec, Coutet and Climens. While seductively fragrant and sweet when young, if you can bear to wait, you will be amply rewarded with lusciously rich, exotically complex wine.
