Château Doisy-Daëne – Grand Vin Sec 2021
Bordeaux Blanc Sec AOC – Barsac, Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷
Overview
From the famed Barsac estate more often associated with sweet Sauternes, Denis Dubourdieu’s Château Doisy-Daëne crafts a brilliant dry white made entirely from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. It is a benchmark example of Bordeaux Blanc Sec: precise, mineral-driven, and age-worthy.
Aromas & Flavors
Expressive notes of grapefruit, lime zest, white peach, and gooseberry, layered with subtle floral hints and a chalky mineral backbone.
Mouthfeel
Taut, vibrant acidity balanced with crystalline purity. Medium-bodied, with a long, stony finish that lingers with citrus and saline freshness.
Food Pairings
Grilled seabass, oysters, sole fish with beurre blanc, Lobster salad with citrus dressing or sushi, asparagus, chèvre salad, or zucchini blossom fritters.
Verdict
A razor-sharp, elegant Sauvignon Blanc that showcases Barsac terroir in a whole new light. Structured enough to age beautifully but already shining with energy in youth. Cheers!
