Appellation d'origine contrôlée and Second Grand Cru Classé in Sauternes
Owned since 1924 by the Dubourdieu family, Château Doisy-Daëne is a Second Cru Classé of Sauternes and Barsac (since the 1855 classification), located 40km south-east of Bordeaux (left bank of the Garonne), next to the estates of Climens, Doisy-Dubroca and Caillou. Resting on a soil composed of a thin red sandy-clay layer over a limestone base, the 18.2 ha of vines are cultivated using integrated pest management, at a density of 7,000 vines/ha. The vineyard, with an average age of 40 years, is composed of Sémillon (86%) and Sauvignon (14%)...
Domaine Doisy-Daëne offers 3 white wines, including a "luxury" cuvée: L'Extravagant de Doisy Daëne. The first wine, named "Fine Wine of Château Doisy Daëne", offers notes of exotic fruits, candied citrus, apricot, mango, acacia blossom and citron. Woody and spiced aromas are also found in this balanced and long-finishing fine wine. It can be cellared for 7 to 20 years and beyond. The second wine from the estate is the Fine Dry Wine of Château Doisy-Daëne, produced under the Bordeaux Blanc appellation. It is a 100% Sauvignon dry white wine with aromas of grapefruit, white peach, pear and spices, with a mineral touch. It will keep for 4 to 8 years in the cellar. Finally, since 1990, the château has offered L'Extravagant de Doisy Daëne in half-bottles: a "haute-couture" cuvée, rated between 96 and 98/100 almost every year by Robert Parker, combining power, freshness, vivacity, balance and delicacy with very concentrated flavours. This wine will improve in the cellar for 15 years and more, as it is made from a selection of the finest grapes (in very limited quantities), aged for 10 months in barrels and 9 months in stainless steel tanks. The best Doisy Daëne vintages are: 2015, 2014, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2007, 2005, 2001, 1997, 1990, 1989 and 1988. Château Doisy-Daëne is awarded 2 stars in the RVF green guide, and scores from international critics are often between 92 and 95/100. Across the two great wines of the estate, the value for money is excellent, which will lead wine enthusiasts to seek out its bottles; as for collectors, it is the estate's rare gem that will draw them in: L'Extravagant de Doisy Daëne.
