Tasting notes

Neal Martin, vinous.com, April 2020 93

The 2010 Doisy-Daëne is missing some complexity on the nose compared to its peers. Melted wax, dried honey and light orange blossom scents, a subtle minty note in the background. The palate is well balanced and shows more pedigree than the aromatics. Good tension here, fine length with a lively finish, this is a fine Sauternes. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. 2023 - 2055

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, February 2013 95

Elegant nose with sweet white peach, strawberry and vanilla. Medium sweet on the palate with a lovely pure fruit and fine texture. This Barsac is super charming and well balanced. Very spicy on the finish showing wonderful botrytis intensity. Drink now or hold.

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, April 2011 17.5

Very pale greenish gold. Very tense. Still embryonic at the moment. In fact the acidity is rather dominant. Really gripped in there for future development. RS 139 g/l, TA 4.05 g/l. 13.7%

Derek Smedley MW, April 2011 88/93

Although quite light there are a lot of appealing fragrances on the nose. The palate feels richer with sweet fruit and depth of flavour the richness balanced by some freshness. Fleshy apricot fills out the back palate.

Michel Bettane, Decanter.com, April 2011 18.5

Super, pineapple-like nose, wonderful texture, perfect balance, very long, so pure and true to great Barsac type, with the salty element that's so nice for appetitive consumption. Drink 2016-2040.

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (212), May 2014 92

The Doisy-Daene 2010 has a rather direct, crisp bouquet, with notes of quince, dried honey and beeswax. There is a sense of steeliness to these aromatics. The palate is ripe and sweet on the entry, with racy lines of acidity and a judicious touch of spice. In a line-up of Sauternes, it lacks the flamboyance and sensuality of the appellation's more sugar-laden offerings, but it has a class that cannot be denied. Drink now-2035.

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (194), May 2011 92/94

Denis Dubourdieu's Barsac cru has an attractive bouquet with subtle notes of cooking apple, pear and lime-flower, all with very fine delineation. The palate displays good weight and a fine thread of acidity, lending tension and poise that leads to a taut finish, showing good botrytis levels for the vintage. With its trademark minerality in place, this Doisy-Daene comes highly recommended.
