Description

The 2006 Château Doisy-Daëne is a beautifully poised and refined Barsac, offering classical sweetness balanced by the estate’s trademark freshness and precision. The nose opens with vibrant aromas of lemon curd, apricot and white peach, intertwined with notes of honeycomb, acacia blossom and subtle vanilla. It is elegant, expressive and immediately inviting.

On the palate, the 2006 delivers a harmonious blend of richness and lift. Flavours of candied citrus, ripe stone fruit and pear are supported by bright, lively acidity that keeps the wine pure and energetic. Gentle hints of saffron, ginger and light caramel add complexity, while Barsac’s characteristic minerality provides structure and finesse.

As the wine develops in the glass, deeper layers emerge—almond cream, beeswax, honeysuckle and warm pastry broaden the palate, giving the wine a graceful sense of maturity. The sweetness is beautifully integrated, and the texture is silky and balanced, leading to a long, refined finish marked by citrus freshness and delicate spice.

A charming and beautifully balanced Doisy-Daëne, the 2006 is drinking at a lovely point now, offering both complexity and elegance. It pairs wonderfully with fruit tarts, crème brûlée, blue cheeses, foie gras or enjoyed simply on its own as a contemplative dessert wine. A superb expression of Barsac restraint and purity in a well-structured vintage.

Château Doisy-Daëne stands as an esteemed wine estate nestled in the Barsac appellation of Bordeaux, France, renowned for crafting exquisite sweet wines. With a history tracing back to the 19th century, this estate, classified as a Second Growth (Deuxième Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, boasts a prime location and a terroir characterized by clay and limestone soils conducive to the development of noble rot. The vineyard spans approximately 18 hectares, predominantly planted with Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle. Guided by generations of expertise and a commitment to tradition, Château Doisy-Daëne meticulously hand-harvests botrytized grapes to create its signature elixirs. These wines are celebrated for their opulent sweetness, balanced by vibrant acidity, and complex layers of flavor, including honey, apricot, and citrus. Château Doisy-Daëne exemplifies the pinnacle of Barsac's winemaking heritage, consistently producing wines of exceptional quality and distinction.
