Tasting notes
The 1953 Doisy Daëne, which was made by the late Pierre Dubourdieu, has a deep amber hue. The nose is just fabulous, almost Aszu-like in style, with orange rind, wax resin and mandarin aromas rising up from the glass. The palate is very well balanced with quince and elderflower notes. It has plenty of energy and tension with real weight and depth toward the finish. There’s so much panache and personality in this Barsac. Bottles will continue to give pleasure for many years. Tasted at Ami restaurant in Hong Kong.

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.
