2025 Doisy-Vedrines (Barsac)
Secondary Description
85% Semillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc, 3% Muscadelle
Floral, complex, and quite lovely, one of the best wines in show at the Sauternes UGC this year. The rich sweetness is cut through with a very brisk acidity, and the wine races effortlessly over the palate. What a pleasure. (NT 05/05/26)

Bitter orange marmalade character, with attractive studs of bitter fennel that help balance out the succulence of the exotic fruit character. Yield 10hl/ha. 92 points

The 2025 Doisy-Vedrines is an infant. Orchard fruit, citrus and floral notes are nicely lifted. This shows notable power and textural resonance. I imagine the 2025 will drink well with a few years in bottle, by which time some of the more incisive contours will have softened. That said, this is a Barsac that shows exceptionally well with age. 92-94 points

The 2025 Doisy-Vedrines was picked between September 17 and October 13 over 11 days and three tries. It does not have the purity and intensity of the Doisy-Daene, well defined, but it just needs a little more expression at this stage. The palate is bright and viscous on the entry, a little fatter than Daëne as usual, with commendable length on the finish. It is just seeking a bit more complexity at the moment; indeed, a second bottle delivers a little more tension. 140 g/l residual sugar. 92-94 points
