reviews

James Suckling 93-94/100

Serious density and spiciness with a full body, lovely sweetness and a flavorful, spicy finish. Lovely botrytis.


Jancis Robinson 17.5/20

100% Sémillon, yield 21 hl/ha, 30% new oak. RS 139 g/l. Barrel sample. Syrupy pineapple nose and a touch of spice, and what seems like sulphur. Better on the palate, broad and sweet and spicy. Decent acidity but a bit rustic. Better on the second tasting too. (JH) Drink 2025-2033


Parker 92-94+

Lisa Perrotti-Brown. Pale lemon-gold colored, the 2018 Doisy Daëne bursts from the glass with vibrant mango, green guava and pink grapefruit notes plus hints of honeycomb, peach blossoms and almond croissant. The palate has bags of freshness and energy with a lovely silken texture and long finish.


Decanter 97/100

Poised and focussed, this gentle golden wine is easily one of the most successful of the vintage here. It has the beautiful pull between sweetness and acidity that not everyone has achieved in this late-harvest year. The texture is luscious and silky, but the flavours are bright and heading towards tart, with notes of lime, papaya and passion fruit. It's very good quality, showing clear minerality with a sense of life and freshness. A delicious wine, great job. 30% new oak. Drinking Window 2022 - 2040
