“Very delicate aromatic profile. Great precision on the palate. A rich, lingering finish. A beautiful wine! ~ B&D”

“Doisy-Védrines 2009 offers a sumptuous bouquet with aromas of passion fruit, quince, beeswax, and fig, displaying great finesse and increasing intensity as it breathes. The palate is perfectly balanced, with lovely acidity that contrasts with the purity of the botrytized fruit and gives way to a smooth and sumptuous finish. Olivier Castéja has produced an exceptional Barsac this year.” (Vinous 2019)

4-Star-Rated Estate (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the wine:

Very delicate aromatic profile. Great precision on the palate. A rich, lingering finish. A beautiful wine. Unbeatable price! Best enjoyed before 2032.

About the estate:

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.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2013) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

About the wine:

A beautiful 16th-century manor house, this château overlooks a vineyard with a solid reputation that this fine 2009 will certainly live up to. With its striking, bright golden-yellow color, this wine also captivates with its fresh aromas of lemon and other citrus fruits, before charming the palate with its elegance, roundness, well-integrated oak, and long aromatic profile: almond paste, peach, apricot, and even spices (ginger). Don’t hesitate to pair it with simple yet bold, gourmet dishes: asparagus or chicken.

Rated winery (2021 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these wineries)

About the estate:

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.

Wine rated (2012 guide) 94/100 (Exceptional wine)

About the wine:

Rich and complex, this wine is a true delight. Its delicate aromas of citrus, flowers, and white peach blend harmoniously with a heart of quince, fig, and persimmon, while notes of warm pie crust and honey-roasted almonds linger on the finish. With a very long finish, it retains superb structure despite its power. At its peak from 2015 to 2032. 6,000 cases, including 500 imported.

Wine rated (2014 guide) 93/100

About the wine:

Still quite closed, this wine has a structure and intensity that bring out the potential ripe aromas of apricots, tangerines, and a hint of lemon zest. All these flavors blend harmoniously with honey, which adds to its richness. — Roger Voss
