Tasting Notes:

The Doisy-Vedrines has a refined bouquet of lemon curd, dried honey and just a touch of quince, perhaps not quite as rich as recent vintages, but very well-defined. The palate is well-balanced, with a touch of lime cordial and passion fruit on the entry, and zesty acidity and impressive precision towards the taut, slightly spicy rich finish. Returning after an hour, this sample has enhanced clarity and volume, and subsequent encounters confirm a very promising Doisy-Vedrines.

Score: 91 - 93 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate

Thick and spicy, with unctuous, still slightly raw-seeming layers of apricot, peach and fig. Ginger cream and green tea check in on the finish. Rather backward still, but there's lots balled up.

Score: 92 - 95 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

Mid gold. Very rich and heady on the nose. Quite exotic and interesting. Subtle and complex. Great weight and great sweetness. A freshness on the finish but green does not dominate this wine. Pear juice with a strong dose of lime juice. RS 145 g/l, TA 3.5 g/l. 13.65%

Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2022-2040

Big body, rich texture, built for long ageing, with a completely different style from Daëne: less immediate purity, more power. Two different visions of terroir but nobody would complain to try both.

Score: 18 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2020-20040

Aromatic and intense with white peaches and lemon verbena. Then very floral and lively with an unctuous texture. Good weight and span of rich yet fresh flavours.

Score: 92 - 94 Albany Vintners
