Château DOISY-DAËNE
Sémillon sur Calcaire

Since the 2023 vintage, Doisy-Daëne has been making a confidential cuvée (1,200 bottles) from its oldest Semillon vines, planted on the limestone plateau of Barsac. Entirely vinified in barrels, this 100% Semillon on limestone is an intense, straightforward wine, with intense aromas of vine peach and a lovely sapid freshness on the finish.

Bettane+Desseauve : 93/100 “More Barsac in character than Sauvignon, and just as flawless in its execution.”

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 91-93/100 « The 2025 Semillon sur Calcaire is a powerful, dense, textured white. Apricot, mint, white flowers and lemon oil unfurl in a wine that is viscous yet quite restrained. Readers will find a white of notable structure and depth, with tons of intensity and the personality to match. »

Vinous (N. Martin) : 90-92/100 "The 2025 Sémillon Sur Calcaire has a little more complexity on the nose, the limestone coming through nicely and simply offering something more memorable than some of its peers. The palate is well balanced, with bright acidity, neatly integrated oak, apricot and white peach notes that segue into a well-defined finish. This is a capable dry Sauternes that should be irresistible once in bottle."
