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.
Rated 90/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin (Feb 2024)
The 2021 vintage is rated 90-92/100 by Neal Martin " Clos Floridène white 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 hint of lemon lends energy to the finish. Quite simply a delicious dry white Bordeaux." (April 2022)
Rated 91/100 by La Revue du Vin de France " Le cru de la famille Dubourdieu garde avec brio le cap de l'identité stylistique de son vin blanc, mi-sémillon mi-sauvignon, toujours sobre, droit, pur, distingué, apte à la garde. Un modèle respecté et une valeur sûre dans l'univers mouvant des blancs secs bordelais. " (December 2022)

Rated 91/100 by La Revue du Vin de France "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 laying down. A respected model and a sure bet in the ever-changing world of Bordeaux dry whites". (December 2022)

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

Neal Martin : 93+/100 « Le Doisy-Daëne 2014 présente un nez séduisant de fruits miellés teintés d'essence, de fleur d'oranger et de résine de cire. Comme ses pairs, il a quelque chose d'un peu germanique. La bouche est très bien équilibrée avec une entrée en matière pure. L'acidité tranche le fruit botrytisé, avec des touches de pêche et de gingembre en fin de bouche. Très bon. »
Wine Advocate : 95-97/100 "This is a fabulous Doisy-Daëne from Denis Dubourdieu".
Revue du Vin de France : 17-18/20 « Doté d'un fruit pur, d'une liqueur généreuse, il est équilibré par la finesse, la minéralité du sol. »More- To keep or to drink:

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.”

Rated 90/100 by Neal Martin « The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a judicious sprinkle of black pepper on the finish. This consistent performer just goes and produces (yet another) delicious Graves that comes recommended. » (Feb. 2020)
