Chateau Doisy Daene Sauternes 2022

A distinguished Second Growth Sauternes estate in Barsac, Château Doisy‑Daëne has been crafting exceptional sweet and dry wines for over two centuries. Renowned for its luscious, botrytized Sémillon-dominant wines, the estate also produces the unique Grand Vin Sec, a crisp dry white. Under the stewardship of the Dubourdieu family, Doisy‑Daëne combines historic terroir with modern winemaking finesse, offering wines of elegance, richness, and unmistakable character.

Our offering is generally considered a lighter, more elegant style of Sauternes.

95-97 Points Vinous Media
The 2022 Doisy-Daëne has an intense bouquet that blossoms in the glass: dried honey, quince and honeysuckle, with light saffron scents emerging with time. The palate is brimming with tension, razor-sharp acidity, quince and tangerine, leading to a slightly peachy, vivacious finish. What a wonderful "DD" from Jean-Jacques Dubourdieu.

94-95 Points James Suckling
Dried mangoes and persimmons with dried flowers and exotic spices. Full with vivid acidity and an attractive spicy edge. Long with beautiful fruit.

Notes

A radiant golden hue introduces aromas of apricot, quince, honey, and honeysuckle, accented by hints of saffron and citrus zest. The palate is rich and silky yet vibrant, offering layers of ripe stone fruit, candied lemon peel, and subtle spice. Bright acidity lifts the sweetness, creating perfect balance and poise. The finish is long, fresh, and elegantly mineral, showcasing both power and finesse.
