Critic reviews
"The 2024 Sémillon Sur Calcaire has a more complex and, as you might expect, limestone-influenced bouquet compared to the Grand Vin Sec, with touches of grass clippings and light patisserie aromas on the nose. The palate is well balanced with a brisk opening. It has fine depth with a slightly oily texture, although this needs a little more complexity to come through on the finish. I am intrigued to see how it will show once in bottle."

"The 2024 Blanc Sec Sémillon sur Calcaire is another mind-blowing dry white from Doisy-Daëne. Rich, creamy and ample, with all the freshness and brilliance conferred by the limestone soils of Barsac, the Sémillons sur Calcaire is positively stellar. Orchard fruit, apricot, white flowers, salt and white truffle build into the resonant, palate-staining finish. This is world-class all the way. Stated simply, Doisy-Daëne's Sémillons sur Calcaire is a new reference point for dry white in Bordeaux."
Antonio Galloni, April 2025, Vinous.com
"Soft burnished gold in colour, a little more reserved on the nose and first attack than the classic Blanc Sec from the estate. This grows slowly as opposed to bursting out of the glass, and instead is full of quiet energy and tension, pumice stone texture, white tea and chamomile flavours along with preserved citrus and spiced peaches. The second vintage of this wine, from the oldest Sémillon on the property, and it's brilliant. Highly recommended. 100% fermented and aged in barrel. Only 1,200 bottles."
