Marks and reviews

Vinum

Delicately aromatic and fresh, with citrus fruits, blossom honey, almonds, dates and dried apricots; dense palate, compact impression, yet showing freshness and elegance, outstanding acidity, great tension. Once again, excellent.

/100

Decanter

Medium yellow in the glass, the 2024 Doisy-Védrines shows a taut, mineral-driven profile with notable freshness and high acidity. Yeasty and slightly closed on the nose, the palate is linear and firm, with a pronounced bitter edge that currently dominates the finish. While tight and somewhat austere now, there’s clear potential for refinement with time.

James Lawther MW

84% Sémillon, 14% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle. Cask sample. Straw colour. Slightly muted nose. Rich and full on the palate with a bitter, botrytised finish. Plenty of length. Should keep. (JL)

Leve Jeff

Vanilla, pineapples, white peaches, lemon curd, and honeyed mangos are at the core of this wine. The palate is bright, fresh, sweet, and fruity, with a candied lemon character. You can enjoy this paired with select spicy, and savory cuisines, or on its own for its vibrancy, and sweetness. Drink from 2027-2040. 91-93 pts

Le Figaro Vin

Fresh and light on the nose, like a saline breeze. The palate, equally fresh, unfolds creamy notes of ripe apricot, pineapple, and saffron, lifted by a razor‑sharp acidity.

Description

A Sauternes wine combining richness, balance, and elegance

The property

Founded in 1851, the Château Doisy-Védrines is located in Barsac, on an ideal clay-limestone terroir for sweet wines. Owned by the Castéja family since the 19th century, it is currently managed by Olivier Castéja and Guillaume Lefebvre. Classified as a Second Grand Cru in 1855, the estate stands out for its traditional practices, such as manual harvesting in several passes, and its limited production enhancing its exclusivity.

The vineyard

The vines of Château Doisy-Védrines thrive on the clay-limestone soils of Barsac, a commune located within the Sauternes appellation. This geological peculiarity, combined with the proximity of the Ciron and the Garonne, promotes the development of Botrytis cinerea, this noble fungus essential for the production of great sweet wines. The unique microclimate of this region allows the grapes to reach an exceptional concentration while preserving a beautiful freshness.

Vinification and aging

The harvest was carried out manually with a rigorous selection of grapes in four successive passes. After gentle pressing, the musts were fermented and then aged in French oak barrels, 50% of which were new, under the supervision of consulting oenologist Hervé Romat. This meticulous process has resulted in a wine of great finesse and complexity.

Grape varieties

This Château Doisy-Védrines 2024 is the result of a blend of sémillon (84%), sauvignon blanc (14%), and muscadelle (2%).
