2018 Château Doisy-Daëne, Cru Classé Barsac Half Bottle 37.5cl
£25.00
“Poised and focussed, this gentle golden wine is easily one of the most successful of the vintage here. It has the beautiful pull between sweetness and acidity that not everyone has achieved in this late-harvest year. The texture is luscious and silky, but the flavours are bright and heading towards tart, with notes of lime, papaya and passion fruit. It’s very good quality, showing clear minerality with a sense of life and freshness. A delicious wine, great job. 30% new oak.”

Product Description
Château Doisy Daëne, included among the second growths in the 1855 classification, is located on the Barsac limestone plateau in the Sauternes appellation. It has belonged to the Dubourdieu family since 1924. The vineyard is at the very top of the Haut Barsac, 17.2 hectares of vines (87% Sémillon and 13% Sauvignon Blanc) are over 40 years old bordered by Crus classés. Doisy Daëne is located on the clay-limestone plateau. This geological exception of the left bank has contributed to making the village of Barsac and its wines famous throughout the world.
The wines have their own special style, with bright fruit concentrated by “noble rot” as well as lively acidity, excellent balance, and delicate flavours. Doisy Daëne’s much-appreciated personality reflects both its excellent limestone terroir and a long family tradition of quality.
