Reviews of 2005 Doisy Daene Sauternes Blend
Elizabeth Becker, JJ Buckley
March 2010
On the nose, elegant notes of cardamon and minerals blend with generous aromas of candied pineapple, salted caramel and spicy soft florals. On the palate, fresh tropical fruits and spring honey balance with mineral character and structure. Glossy texture with a creamy finish driven by fresh, compelling acidity.
95 points, Wine Enthusiast
May 2008
Under the control of white wizard Denis Dubourdiue, this is one of the great wines of Barsac. It has intensity of sweetnes, but just the right lightness, which gives it freshness as well as richness. This is a great wine in its early stages, and is certainly likely to age over many years.

March 2008
Masses of crushed grape, honey and hints of clove and nutmeg. Full-bodied, very sweet and very lively, with lots of acidity and spicy fruit. Long and flavorful, with loads of passion fruit flavor. Best after 2012. 3,750 cases made. –JS
About 2005 Doisy Daene Sauternes Blend
About the Winery Doisy Daene
The three Doisy vineyards of Barsac, Daene, Vedrines, and Dubroca, all
stem from a single estate whose history is not well documented. The
earliest records of Doisy come from the 18th century and they describe an
estate south of Chateau Coutet owned by the Vedrines family. Though its
early history is elusive, by the early 19th century the estate was
recognized as one of the most prominent vineyards in Barsac. At some
point in the 19th century, the single vineyard was divided by mandates
of Napoleonic law. The largest portion of the vineyard stayed with the
Vedrines family. The second smaller portion was acquired by the Faux
family which subsequently began the era Doisy-Dubroca, which was then
acquired by the Daene family to produce Chateau Doisy Daene. The
vineyards has switched hands a few times through the generations, but
the Doisy Daene has consistently produced amazing wines that have
captured the attention of wine connoisseurs the world over.
The Doisy Daene is very typical of the Barsac: a mix of red sand and
clay with solid limestone bedrock and fossilized shellfish. The vines
are largely vieilles vignes, although parts of the vineyard were
intensively replanted in the 1940s and 1950s. The vineyard's 15.9
hectares are planted with extensive amounts of Semillon, Sauvignon
Blanc, and Muscadelle.
