Tasting notes

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (219), June 2015 94

Tasted blind at the 10-Year On Tasting in Sauternes. The 2005 Château Doisy-Daëne has a very attractive nose with perfumed apricot blossom, white peach and honey all infused with cold stone scents. The palate is very well balanced with beautifully judged acidity. This feels harmonious in the mouth, almost Coutet-like in style with a long, lightly spiced finish. This is an excellent Doisy-Daene from Denis Dubourdieu. Drink 2015-2040.

James Suckling, WineSpectator.com, March 2006 95/100

This is fantastic, with masses of sweet fruit. Passion fruit, caramel and apple--this has it all. Full and sweet. Extremely serious for this estate.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, July 2022 95

Medium to deep straw-gold in color, the 2005 Doisy Daene shoots forth with pronounced lime jelly, lemon marmalade, and dried mango scents plus hints of caramel waffles, shortbread, and hazelnut butter. Concentrated and powerful in the mouth, it delivers loads of savory and nut layers with a long, honeyed finish.

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, April 2006 18

Sweet and round. Very flattering and charming. Lovely texture and freshness. Quite delicate and certainly wonderfully appetising. One of the few 2005s that could be served before a meal??? Long, neat. Not as full and sweet as some but very well judged. No enormous weight of sugar but very zesty. Drink 2014-26

Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, December 2007 89/91

Pale yellow color. Spicy, perfumed aromas of pineapple, peach nectar, nutmeg and ginger, with a complicating smoky nuance. Juicy, pure and penetrating, with harmonious ripe acidity framing the pineapple, white peach and citrus flavors. This has an almost painful spiciness today that gives the finish a somewhat aggressive character, but this is long and promising.

David Peppercorn MW, Decanter.com, May 2006 4

The nose has that lovely fruit acidity of a great German Riesling Auslese. The wine is very complex and fresh; length and real class without great weight but so much finesse that this could almost be five stars. This is the sort of wine Denis Dubourdieu and his father Pierre want to make. 4 stars

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, May 2008 94

This is a great wine, but you would not expect anything else from Denis Dubourdieu. The nose is closed but has great definition. The palate displays exquisite balance, vibrant acidity, hints of almond and a tangible mineral core. Hints of beeswax and even kerosene towards the finish. Complex and engaging but always with supreme delineation and focus. Fabulous stuff. (Wine Journal)
