CHÂTEAU DOISY VÉDRINES

2016 2ème Cru Classé Barsac

Grapes Sémillon, Sauv
Colour White
Origin France, Bordeaux
Village Barsac
Classification 2ème Cru Classé

The most extensive of the Doisy properties has made a very good rather than a great Barsac in 2016. This has fine, tangy acidity, notes of nectarine and peach and nicely interwoven oak, with some ginger spice and a refreshing finish. Drinking range: 2020 - 2025 Rating: 92 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (May 2017)

Château Doisy Védrines

Barsac Deuxième cru 1855 As one might expect, there was originally one Doisy estate. Sometime in the earlier 19th Century, it was divided into three parts - two smaller parts were sold to the Dubroca brothers and Jean-Jacques Emmanuel Daëne becoming the rarely encountered Château Doisy-Dubroca and Château Doisy-Daëne respectively, whilst the larger proportion became Château Doisy-Védrines. In 1851, it was purchased by the Boireau family who's descendents the, Castéja family, own Doisy-Védrines to this day. Around 30ha of vineyard are planted with 85% Semillon and 15% Sauvignon Blanc. Fermentation is in stainless-steel before and 18 month aging period in oak, of which 70% is new. Doisy-Védrines is a richer rounder style than Doisy-Daëne. Interestingly, although entitled to the Barsac appellation, the wines are always labelled as Sauternes.
