Chevalier de Védrines - Bordeaux blanc 2025 (Primeurs)

This estate, located near Doisy-Daëne and managed by Olivier Castéja, has the same type of limestone soil typical of the Haut-Barsac region and produces a classic sweet wine—well-ripened and full-bodied—that will appeal to everyone. We’ve come to appreciate the increased finesse it has shown in recent years, thanks to better protection against oxidation. The prices are reasonable.

Clean and lively, this wine offers a hint of crisp acidity with tangy citrus notes that give way to a smoother finish, yet one of exceptional freshness—almost minty. A clean and precise wine that unfolds in a straight line from start to finish. Lightly structured, yet truly very pleasant. 2027–2032

Created when Doisy was divided into three estates, this cru is named after its former owners (until 1846), the Védrines. It is located near Climens, Coutet, and the two other Doisy estates (Daëne and Dubroca). The château maintains low yields, producing a wine that ranks among the richest on the nose and the sweetest in Barsac. It takes between five and ten years to reach its full potential, at which point it achieves the distinction and brilliance of the appellation’s star wines.
