Critic reviews
"The 2023 Doisy-Daëne has a bright and quite intense bouquet: dried honey, candle wax and quince, quite complex but it deserves time. The palate is just exquisite on the opening, with a viscous texture, orange pith and quince mixed with wild honey and a touch of white peach. There is real weight and density on the finish, another superb Doisy-Daëne and perchance superior to the previous vintage, tasted a few weeks later."

"This shows aromas of white pepper, dried peaches and dried mushrooms. The palate is composed and refined, its subdued richness lifted by vibrant acidity. Angular and saline, with an elegant, precise texture and a balanced, savory finish. 80% semillon and 20% sauvignon blanc. This will improve substantially with age. Drink or hold."
James Suckling, January 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Pale gold with vibrant edging, starts with concentrated and intense clove spices, luscious apricot fruit, opening to show juicy, sculpted slivers of steel and lime juice. A return to form for this excellent Barsac wine after the succulent but unbalanced 2022. Great stuff from this legendary Dubourdieu property, although once again the yields are extremely low and the character is more concentrated than you find in vintages like 2021. Ageing starts with 10 months in oak barrels, followed by 9 months in stainless steel tank before bottling."
