Château Doisy-Védrines Description
Doisy-Védrines is located on a clay-limestone plateau in Haut-Barsac. The soil is ploughed using traditional methods and the grapes are picked by hand in four or six passes. Fermentation and ageing take place exclusively in French oak barrels.
The combination of modern and traditional winemaking techniques gives Château Doisy-Védrines its trademark freshness and finesse typical of the finest wines of Barsac. Annual production varies from 40,000 to 50,000 bottles depending on the vintage. When young, the wine is well-balanced and particularly delicious as an aperitif. Older vintages are a delight at the end of a meal.
Wine Advocate: 93+ Points
The pale lemon colored 2016 Doisy-Vedrines is a little closed to begin, giving way to notes of lemonade, grapefruit, white peaches and yuzu with wafts of ginger, honeycomb and crushed rocks. The palate is wonderfully elegant and refreshing with delicate citrus and mineral layers and a lively citrus lift to the finish.
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2016 Doisy-Védrines has a rich, intense bouquet of marmalade and apricot scents, although there is some SO2 that just veils these aromatics. The palate is well balanced with satisfying purity on the entry.
