2020 Doisy-Vedrines (Barsac)

Powerful fleshy exotic fruits - the juice comes in from the first moment and doesn`t let up, ensuring the apricot and mango fruits are shot straight through the core of steel. A brilliant showcase of what the soils of Barsac can do. A yield of 11hl/ha, 18 months in barrel. 95 points

Pale lemon-gold colored, the 2020 Doisy-Vedrines is a little closed to begin, opening out to reveal fragrant notes of jasmine, lime leaves and orange peel, with a core of apple pie and ginger snaps. The palate is light on its feet with a refreshing line of acidity lifting the apple and spice-laced sweetness and delivering a long, zippy finish. 91-93 points

Pale gold; honey and wax and citrus-fruit rich to smell; medium-full, moderately concentrated, fresh enough; sweet, straightforward, pleasing, but very limited in botrytis concentration and complexity, nonetheless, lively and lemony and aperitif pleasing. 89–90 points
