Château Doisy Daëne - Barsac - Blanc - 2023

With a consistently impressive track record, Château Doisy-Daëne continues its irresistible series of iconic vintages. In this year of great abundance for Sauternes, the estate not only upholds its reputation but exceeds it, delivering a wine of exceptional richness, vibrant freshness, and the resonant qualities of Barsac's limestone soils. The liqueur is absolutely sublime, with aromas of yellow fruits and citrus, making the wine luscious and exceptionally pure. The blend, dominated by Sémillon, asserts its supremacy.

A pinnacle of Barsac and driven by the Dubourdieu family, this flagship estate is one of the most coveted labels in Sauternes. As a 2nd Cru Classé from 1855, it consistently ranks at the top of tastings and frequently leads its appellation. Its distinctive style, generous without excess, has few equals. For nearly a century, the Dubourdieu family—now Jean-Jacques and Fabrice—has worked tirelessly to elevate this estate, and they have succeeded! The 2023 vintage only reinforces this truth. Don’t miss it under any circumstances; Sauternes may be eternal, but the allocated quantities are tiny.
