Doisy-Daëne is located at the top of Barsac, between Climens and Coutet. Brilliantly orchestrated by Denis Dubourdieu (nicknamed the ‘pope of Bordeaux whites’) until 2016, his two sons Fabrice and Jean-Jacques are now continuing his work.
Doisy-Daëne is never the sweetest wine in its sector, but it always possesses unrivalled expression and aromatic refinement. Its purity and elegance make it all the more sought-after, especially as its prices remain reasonable.
Vinous (N. Martin) : 95-97/100 "The 2025 Doisy-Daëne has an intense nose with plenty of botrytised fruit, wonderful delineation, quite nuanced this year, with quince and light white peach scents intertwined with saffron. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity, so pure and quite minerally, yet your senses are just awash with that layered botrytised fruit that lingers in the mouth. What a stunning Barsac."
Bettane+Desseauve : 95/100 “A masterful blend, capable of preserving all the complexity of noble rot. Still linear at present, it will become more sensual with age.”
J-M Quarin : 95/100
La Revue du Vin de France : 93-95/100 “Already very harmonious, it offers a serene, distinguished profile. The palate is complex and penetrating. Its finish reveals a beautiful aromatic detail, where the fruit is adorned with enticing notes of crème brûlée, vanilla and tonka bean…”
Vinous (A. Galloni) : 92-94/100 "The 2025 Doisy-Daéne is aromatic, lifted and sculpted. Green apple, pear, jasmine and crushed rocks are finely delineated in an airy Barsac that has so much to offer. The 2025 can be enjoyed young for its freshness, but it clearly has the eneray and pedigree to age info an exceptional sweet wine over time."
