Château DOISY-DAËNE
2ème grand cru classé
- 2019
- Barsac
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 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 - November 2023): 90/100 “The 2021 Clos floridene Blanc has a commendable bouquet of white-flower-tinged citrus fruit, gaining vigor ine the glass with each swirl. The palate is well-balanced with a tangy entry-mango and persimmon, becoming peachier toward the well-defined finish. This is a delicisous white Pessac that will be difficult to resist in its youth."
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”.

The 2014 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.”

The 2020 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2025): 92/100 “Rarely have we tasted it so velvety, the soft, savory pulp softening the grape's acute character on this specific terroir.”
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.”

The 2017 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2020): 90/100 “The palate is medium-bodied, with supple tannins, fine acidity and a judicious hint of black pepper on the finish. This consistently good wine produces (once again) a delicious Graves that comes highly recommended.”
