Tasting Notes

The full candied citrus, pineapple and mangoes and the generous sweetness make this quite a lush wine, and there’s just enough acidity to bind it all together into a neat package. Not as exciting as from barrel but outstanding. Drink now.

Score: 90

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 13 February 2017

A solid wine with dried fruits, spices, dried mushrooms and medium sweetness. Full-bodied, sweet and intense.

Score: 95 - 96

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 31 March 2015

Subtle nose and extremely rich on the palate. Very beguiling. With a tingly finish.

Score: 18

The 2014 Doisy-Védrines is all about class and polish. Lightly honeyed notes meld into almonds, wild flowers and orange peel. Fresh and invigorating, the mid-weight Doisy-Védrines is impeccable, pretty and very nicely balanced.

Score: 91 - 94

Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 01 April 2015

The Château Doisy-Védrines 2014 is a blend of 85% Sémillon and 15% Sauvignon Blanc, a modest 134 grams per liter residual sugar and a pH of 3.55 (a figure that might be a little lower than recent vintages.) It has a fragrant bouquet that is actually quite similar to Doisy-Daëne this year, a reticent at first but opens up with honey, orange zest and mineral aromas. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with a fine line of acidity, much more race than recent vintage with citrus lemon, honey and orange peel on the long, persistent finish. Yes, there is a little more unctuousness on the finish compared to Doisy-Daëne but at the end of the day, they are both superb expressions of Barsac.

Score: 94 - 96

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2018-2035 01 April 2015

Offers a bold, spicy profile, with nectarine, ginger, hazelnut and pineapple notes. Shows lots of energy, brimming with spice and focused acidity through the finish. A great showing.

Score: 94 - 97
