Château Doisy-Védrines 2024

Delicately aromatic and fresh, with citrus fruits, blossom honey, almonds, dates and dried apricots; dense palate, compact impression, yet showing freshness and elegance, outstanding acidity, great tension. Once again, excellent.

Medium yellow in the glass, the 2024 Doisy-Védrines shows a taut, mineral-driven profile with notable freshness and high acidity. Yeasty and slightly closed on the nose, the palate is linear and firm, with a pronounced bitter edge that currently dominates the finish. While tight and somewhat austere now, there’s clear potential for refinement with time.

84% Sémillon, 14% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle. Cask sample. Straw colour. Slightly muted nose. Rich and full on the palate with a bitter, botrytised finish. Plenty of length. Should keep. (JL)

Vanilla, pineapples, white peaches, lemon curd, and honeyed mangos are at the core of this wine. The palate is bright, fresh, sweet, and fruity, with a candied lemon character. You can enjoy this paired with select spicy, and savory cuisines, or on its own for its vibrancy, and sweetness. Drink from 2027-2040. 91-93 pts

Fresh and light on the nose, like a saline breeze. The palate, equally fresh, unfolds creamy notes of ripe apricot, pineapple, and saffron, lifted by a razor‑sharp acidity.

Bright, vivid, beautiful depth, lime zest, saffron, juicy and luscious, this majors on orange peel, pineapple and mango, mouthwatering finish, exceptional quality. Olivier And Eric Casteja. 9 hl/ha yield, Barsac location.
