Grilled apricots and lime zest, rich without being heavy, luscious and so good, a clear sign that there are bright spots in the 2024 vintage - and many of them belong to the dry and sweet whites of the region. Great stuff from Fabrice and Jean-Jacques Dubourdieu. 15 hl/ha yield. 95 points

The 2024 Doisy-Daene is redolent of apricot, tangerine oil, baked apple tart, pineapple and spice. Bold and luscious in feel, Doisy-Daene is quite overt in 2024. It offers ample body to match its abundant curves and sexy, flamboyant profile. Tasted two times. 92-95 points

The 2024 Doisy-Daene is a little more backward on the nose than expected, with finely delineated peach skin, beeswax and wild honey scents emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a very peachy opening, then apricot and quince join the chorus line. As usual, the acidic thread keeps this Barsac on its toes and there is real intensity and sustain on the finish that leaves you wanting more. Bravo. 94-96 points
