2015 Château Doisy-Védrines, Sauternes, Bordeaux

Description

Once again Doisy-Védrines has fully justified its position as a go-to for lovers of sweet wine. Beautiful lifted white blossom notes give way to white peach and pineapple. It has a lovely glossy texture on the palate with floral notes, crystalline honey, pineapple and the merest hint of straw on the finish.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 17.5/20
Deep gold. Broad pear-juice nose. Massive weight and some spice. Big and bold. Dramatic weight even if not the raciness of the other Doisy. Clear botrytis influence. Drink 2027-2042 jancis_robinson_mw MW - JancisRobinson.com - Apr 2016

The 2015 Doisy-Vedrines has quite an intense nose, perhaps less fat and honeyed than recent vintages, more finesse if not quite capturing the same level of details as the Doisy-Dane this year. The palate is very promising with layers of honeyed fruit tinged with white chocolate and almond, a lovely swagger about this Doisy-Vedrines that reminds me of great vintages such as 1989. Always well priced, you won't harm your cellar with a case of Olivier Castja's sumptuous Barsac.Neil Martin - 28/04/2016

This has phenolic tension and power with so much dried fruit character from pineapple to mango. Full, medium sweet and lively. Really excellent. james_suckling - jamessuckling_com - Apr 2016

Ian D'Agata 92/100
Reticent aromas of sweet spices, mango and crystallised ginger emerge slowly with aeration. Rich, dense and tactile, with honeyed tropical fruit, lively lemon and spicy tangerine flavours. Some noble rot, but passerillage (dried grapes) present. From 35-year-old vines, and made with a rare 5% Muscadelle. Drink: 2019-2027 Ian D’Agata - decanter.com - April 2016
