Tasting Notes

The 2022 Doisy-Daëne has a powerful bouquet with touches of yellow fruit, pressed white flowers, saffron and jasmine emerging with time. This has fine delineation. The palate is supremely well balanced with caressing viscous botrytised fruit effortlessly matched by the acidity. Poised and very tender on the long finish, this is a wonderful Barsac.

Score: 96 Neal Martin, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2027-2057 Date: 12 February 2025

Excellent quality, powerful and yet restrained, luscious and opulent yet riven through with slate and pumice texture, great quality, this has the grated ginger that you really need in 2022 for the sweet wine to lift off; you get it's here in spades. Love it.

The 2022 Doisy-Daëne is supremely beautiful. Apricot jam, white flowers and mint open first, all framed by a kiss of new French oak. Rich and creamy in the glass, yet not at all heavy, Doisy-Daëne is sublime. Lifted floral and tropical overtones extend the mid-palate and finish while also lending quite a bit of freshness. Superb.

Dried mangoes and persimmons with dried flowers and exotic spices. Full with vivid acidity and an attractive spicy edge. Long with beautiful fruit.
