Tasting notes
The 2019 Doisy-Daëne has a delightful bouquet with dried honey, white peach and white chocolate scents, ample botrytis and concentration here. The palate is well-balanced with fine acidity, elegant with a touch of spice towards the finish. Lovely. Not quite the finest example tasted, but it will surely improve with bottle age as this Barsac is wont to do. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. Nervy, botrytised nose. Very sweet – my teeth demurred – yet with good acidity. Strong apricot notes. Fresh as well as sweet. Exciting, intense wine. (JR)
The 2019 Doisy-Daëne has a gorgeous bouquet of wild honey, quince, saffron and touch of shucked oyster shell, intense and utterly seductive. The palate is well balanced, taut and fresh, with a fine bead of such perfectly pitched acidity that you barely notice the botrytized finish. An outstanding wine from Jean-Jacques Dubourdieu.
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.
