The star of Graves blancs, offering each vintage a very pure and straightforward wine, discreetly woody. It is not surprising to see this regularity in performance, as it is the own property of Florence & Denis Dubourdieu, hence the name of the wine.
The 2021 vintage in the press:
Vinous (Neal Martin - April 2022): 90-92/100 “The Clos Floridène blanc 2021 offers an attractive, well-defined and utterly floral bouquet of bright citrus fruits complemented by white flowers. The palate is very well balanced, with excellent distinction and good tension. A tangy touch of lemon lends energy to the finish. Quite simply a delicious dry white Bordeaux."
Jean-Marc Quarin (February 2024): 90/100

The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (December 2022): 91/100 “The Dubourdieu family vineyard brilliantly maintains the stylistic identity of its white wine, half Semillon, half Sauvignon, always sober, straightforward, pure, distinguished and suitable for ageing. A respected model and a sure bet in the ever-changing world of Bordeaux dry whites”.

Doisy-Daëne may never be the sweetest wine in its sector, but its expression and aromatic refinement are unrivalled. A pure Barsac, brilliantly orchestrated by Denis Dubourdieu until 2016. The 2014 vintage was rated 94-96/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « with pure fruit and generous liquor, it is balanced by the finesse and minerality of the soil »; 96/100 for the 2016 vintage « sparkling, crystal-clear fruit, the pure character of the Barsac terroir ».
The 2019 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 94/100 “The 2019 gives even greater emphasis to the expression of the fruit, interwoven with the fine acidic mesh that gives the wine so much drive.”
Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024) : 98/100

The 2015 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin-March 2024): 93+/100 “The 2014 Doisy-Daëne has an attractive nose with petrol-tinged honeyed fruit, orange blossom and wax resin. Like its peers, there is something a little Germanic here. The palate is very well balanced with a pure entry. The acidity slices through the botrytised fruit, with touches of peach and ginger towards the finish. Fine."
Wine Advocate: 95-97/100 “This is a fabulous Doisy-Daëne from Denis Dubourdieu.”
La Revue des Vins de France: 17-18/20 “Endowed with pure fruit, generous liqueur, it is balanced by the finesse, the minerality of the soil.”

Vinous (Antonio Galloni - December 2022): 90/100 “The Clos Floridène 2020 is formidable. Brilliant and punchy to a fault, the 2020 offers notes of crushed red berries, mocha, espresso and licorice, with lovely floral and savory nuances intertwining.”
