Tasting notes
A subtle nose has hints of ripe apricot and sweet cereal. These flavours really hit home at the front of the palate which added white peach. they do however last for a long time with really balanced acidity making the weight of this wine just right, like drinking velvet

The 2010 Doisy-Daëne is missing some complexity on the nose compared to its peers. Melted wax, dried honey and light orange blossom scents, a subtle minty note in the background. The palate is well balanced and shows more pedigree than the aromatics. Good tension here, fine length with a lively finish, this is a fine Sauternes. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.
Pale to medium lemon-gold in color, the 2010 Doisy Daëne leaps from the glass with lively notions of honey-drizzled peaches, apple crumble, crème brûlée and lime leaves with touches of dried pineapple and orange blossoms. The palate is layered with energetic, intricate stone fruit, citrus and savory layers, framed with fantastic freshness, finishing with epic persistence.
Tasted blind. Rich, broad and honeyed. Lots of barley sugar on the nose. Broad, sweet, deep, creamy. Succulent and generous. (JH)
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.
