Château Doisy Daëne

Château Doisy-Daëne, classified as a Second Growth in 1855 and located in Barsac within the Sauternes appellation, has been in the Dubourdieu family since 1924. For over eighty years, three generations of winemakers have worked from father to son at Château Doisy-Daëne to produce great sweet wines: Georges (1924–1948), Pierre (1949–1999), and Denis since 2000.

Largely replanted in the 1950s and 1960s, the Château Doisy-Daëne vineyard is over 40 years old. It currently covers 16.3 hectares planted with Sémillon (87%), Sauvignon (12%), and Muscadelle (1%). Maintained exclusively through traditional tillage methods, the soil of the Château Doisy-Daëne vineyard receives no herbicides. Organic fertilizers are based on plant composts. On this Barsac terroir, Château Doisy-Daëne produces both a great AOC Sauternes wine and a racy, highly original dry white Bordeaux, the Grand Vin Sec du Château Doisy-Daëne.
