RATINGS

95Wine Enthusiast

...concentrated wine is intense in botrytis and shows potential for aging. All this richness is balanced by a fresh streak and lemon zest acidity at the end.

93Vinous / IWC

Lemon confit, apricot, passionfruit and bright floral accents lend brightness to this elegant and poised Barsac.

91Wine Spectator

Ginger, graham cracker and brioche notes lead the way in this unctuous and flattering version, with creamed peach and peach notes filling through the finish.

90-92The Wine Advocate

...bold notes of warm pineapple, baked pears and spice cake with nuances of orange blossoms, toasted almonds and baking bread...palate provides a great intensity of tropical and citrus flavors with a racy line of freshness and long, spicy finish.

90James Suckling

A fresh, creamy Sauternes with sliced lemon, dried apple and hints of apricot and honey. Medium-bodied with light sweetness and a fruity finish.

PRODUCER

Château Doisy Vedrines

Château Doisy Vedrines is in the commune of Barsac, in the Sauternes appellation. It is ranked as a Second Cru Classe according to 1855 Bordeaux classification. The estate is owned by the Casteja family, a well-known negociant family that also owns several Bordeaux estates. The 67-acre estate grows 80% Semillon, 15% Sauvignon and 5% Muscadelle. It produces about 60,000 bottles of its flagship Sauternes annually. The estate also produces red and white table wines under the Chevalier de Vedrines label.

REGION

France, Bordeaux, Sauternes, Barsac

Sauternes makes the world’s most famous dessert wines. Though the appellation lies within the Graves region of Bordeaux’s left bank, the appellation makes only sweet wines from white grapes, primarily Semillon sometimes blended with small amounts of Muscadelle. The five communes within Sauternes are Barsac, Bommes, Fargues, Preignac and Sauternes. Barsac also has its own appellation and, typically, Barsac wines are slightly drier and lighter than other Sauternes. Sauternes are made when weather conditions result in a mold called Botrytis cinerea developing on the grapes, which causes them to become especially sweet. Sauternes are not produced every vintage, so successful vintages become especially collectible. Sauternes estates were classified in 1855, and Château d’Yquem, the appellation’s most prestigious estate, was ranked in a class by itself as a Premier Grand Cru. Château d’Yquem wines are among the most prized wines in the world.
