Château Doisy-Daëne 2016 is a classic Barsac with an unrivalled balance between freshness and sweetness. Located on the limestone-rich soils of Barsac, this Deuxième Grand Cru Classé estate produces wines renowned for their finesse and minerality. The wine has a brilliant golden-yellow colour with light amber reflections. On the nose it opens with intense aromas of acacia honey, candied citrus, apricot and exotic fruit, with subtle notes of vanilla and dried flowers. On the palate the wine is both rich and lively, with a silky texture and elegant freshness. Flavours of ripe peach, orange peel and tropical fruit are supported by refined acidity, creating subtle tension and great drinkability. The finish is long, refined and mineral, with lingering notes of honey and citrus.
Perfect with foie gras, blue cheeses, tarte tatin, and desserts with nuts or citrus.
Château Doisy-Daëne, located in Barsac, ranks among the very best of Sauternes and Barsac wines. Owned by the Dubourdieu family since 1924, the estate is known for its meticulous winemaking and terroir-driven style. The vineyards lie on limestone-rich clay soils, which give the wine a characteristic freshness and minerality. Thanks to the unique microclimate, noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) develops here optimally, leading to the concentrated, aromatic style for which Barsac is known. The 2016 vintage is praised for its perfect balance between freshness and sweetness, and promises to age beautifully in the years to come. An icon in the world of noble sweet wines.
