The 2007 Doisy-Vedrines is composed of 80% Semillon, 15% Sauvignon Blanc, and 5% Muscadelle. Medium yellow-gold in color, it rolls out with orange marmalade, pineapple paste, and creme brulee scents, plus hints of chamomile, saffron, and spice cake. The palate delivers layer upon layer of citrus and spices, framed by fantastic tension and a satiny texture, finishing with epic length.

Tasted at the château, the 2007 Château Doisy-Védrines does not achieve the same level of precision as the 2006 on the nose, although there is plenty of botrytis here with scents of melted candle wax and white peach. The palate is vibrant on the entry with impressive weight: hints of orange peel and apricot with a tender, almost understated finish. This improves in the glass, gaining more complexity and nuance and yet never quite demonstrating the sheer ambition as the 2009. Yet I notice even within the limited amount of time at my disposal some melioration in the glass, gaining harmony and tension and so I would not hesitate in decanting this very fine Barsac. - Neal Martin

With a showy nose of orange blossoms, apricots, pineapple and honey, the wine is fresh, medium bodied and ends with lush wave of honey coated, tropical fruit and citrus. Read more at:https://www.thewinecellarinsider.com/wine-tasting-note/?vintage=2007&wine=Chateau%20Doisy-Vedrines

The 2007 Doisy-Védrines has a well-defined, quite generous bouquet with dried honey, peach skin and overripe Clementines; there is ample botrytis here, though not quite as nuanced as Daëne. The palate is well balanced with marmalade and quince, moderate depth, fine acidity, but maybe it has lost a little complexity on the finish in recent years. Still, this is a decent Barsac that ought to give another 15-30 years' drinking pleasure. Tasted at the 2007 horizontal in Sauternes. -- Neal Martin
