Tasting notes
The 1995 Doisy-Daëne has a more floral, perhaps more charming bouquet than the 1996, pure Clementine, saffron and slivers of white peach emerging with time, though perhaps note quite as complex as more recent vintages. The palate is well balanced and quite tangy on the entry, a fine bead of acidity here, very Barsac-like towards the finish with a very discrete chlorine note that is beginning to develop. Very fine. Tasted at the vertical at Doisy-Daëne.

Dubourdieu’s. Mid greenish deep gold. Green vegy nose – quite strong! Extremely tangy. Very refreshing but not exactly what Sauternes can do at its best. Masses of acidity. Still a little chewy but admirably long. (JR)
About the producer
This Second Growth estate has origins dating back to the late 1800s. It is, however, under the ownership of the Dubourdieu family – who took over the Barsac property in 1924 – that Ch. Doisy-Daëne truly flourished.
