Tasting Notes
The nose of this 2023 is full of wonderfully rich and floral aromas that soar out of the glass. The estate has managed to retain both power and finesse on a mid-palate that offers up notes of lemon peel, apricot and candied fruit. A backbone of acidity brings flawless freshness and a long and moreish finish. It has 175g/l sugar and 12.5% alcohol.

The 2023 Château Doisy Daëne is another ripe, powerful wine, yet it brings a juicy, lively style in its sweet peach, citrus, and orange fruit as well as notes of candied ginger, mint, and sappy floral aromas and flavors. It has beautiful acidity, full-bodied richness, and a great finish.
Vanilla, flowers, candied pineapple, white peach, apricots, orange skins, and roasted nuts. The vibrance on the palate, with the purity, and energy in the tropical fruits, paired with ample acidity to give this lift makes this a true, sweet, treat.
A blend of 80% Semillon and 20 % Sauvignon Blanc, the 2023 Doisy Daene has a pale lemon-straw color. It charges out with notes of pear drops, grapefruit oil, and preserved orange peel, followed by suggestions of lime leaves, wild fungi, and crushed stones. The palate is densely packed with rich, seductive citrus fruit layers, supported by wonderful tension, finishing very long and pure.
