"An iconic name in Bordeaux white wines, the Dubourdieu family offers a 2018 vintage of exceptional quality!"

“The 2018 Doisy-Daëne is exuberant and intensely aromatic right from the first sip. It is brimming with sweet floral notes, apple pie, pineapple, and mint. Brilliant and beautifully fresh, with remarkable presence and great richness, the 2018 Doisy-Daëne is simply fabulous. Allowing it to breathe lets it fully reveal its texture and depth. It takes a great deal of self-control to resist the temptation to taste this 2018 during a professional tasting, as it’s the kind of wine I prefer to savor for hours. ” (Vinous 2021) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected)

About the wine:

Silky texture, pronounced notes of gunpowder and cigar box—which enhance the wine’s complexity and appeal—blended with citrus, linden blossom, and mild spices. An original and distinctive wine. Aged in 30% new oak barrels. 2021–2044

Rated estate (2011 guide): 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, belong in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the wine:

A lovely nose of fresh pineapple—it’s clean and pure, with a fine quality of wine and fruit that’s exceptionally precise. While Barsac’s elegance is never in short supply, this vintage is quite supple—more refined than full-bodied, more restrained than voluminous on the palate. At this stage, it does not fully convey the energy of Barsac’s limestone terroir.

About the estate:

“Denis Dubourdieu masterfully crafts wines from grapes harvested with precision, at the moment when noble rot offers the best balance between sugar content and aromatic finesse... The wines display a purity and elegance that make them all the more sought-after, especially given their reasonable prices.”

About the wine:

On the nose, delicate aromas of lemon zest and dried apricot, with creamy and honeyed notes. On the palate, a lovely, lively freshness, as pure as spring water, with a long, smooth finish that carries you away.

About the wine:

What elegance and subtlety in this bouquet! It displays a chalky quality along with inviting notes of chestnuts, candied lemons, and flowers. Subtlety and finesse are also ever-present on the palate. The wine has charm, precision, and a structure that perfectly carries the aromatic character through to the finish. A wine that perfectly balances the present and the future. 2023–2044
