Château Doisy Daëne (Denis Dubourdieu) Description
The 18.2 hectare Chateau Doisy Daene is planted to 86% Semillon and 14% Sauvignon Blanc. Although there is a small section of vines planted to Muscadelle as well. This marks a change in the vineyard, as today, you find a higher percentage of Semillon planted.
Situated quite close to Chateau Climens, in Barsac, the vineyard has a terroir that consists of red sand, clay and limestone soils. The vines are planted to a density of 7,000 vines per hectare. On average, the vines are maintained at 35 years of age.
Aside from their sweet, white Bordeaux wine, which is their mainstay, Chateau Doisy Daene produces two additional wines. They make a dry white wine from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, which is sold as a Bordeaux blanc. This is denoted by the term Grand Vin Sec, which appears on the label for Doisy Daene Grand Vin Sec.
Vinous: 96 Points
The 2023 Doisy-Daëne is redolent of pineapple, tangerine oil and passion fruit. Doisy-Daëne is usually a bit more floral, but the 2023 seems to be built on striking textural richness. As good as the 2023 is, it will be much more complete with a few years in bottle.
Wine Advocate: 96+ Points
Aromas of white fruits and baked Anjou pear, intertwined with exotic nuances of mango and pineapple, introduce the 2023 Doisy Daëne. Medium- to full-bodied, pure and precise, it offers a seamless texture and a fleshy core of fruit marked by a delicate note of rôti, enhanced by refined gastronomic bitterness and extending into a perfumed, ethereal and seemingly endless finish. This blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc ranks among the finest wines produced under the stewardship of Denis Dubourdieu’s sons.
