Producer Information

Château Doisy-Daëne is an esteemed estate known for its sweet white wines, located in the Barsac commune within Bordeaux. It is a Grand Cru Classé Second Growth under the classification of 1855, which took place in Sauternes and Barsac at the same time as the famous classification of the Médoc and Graves. Doisy-Daëne has been owned by the Dubourdieu family since 1924. The estate makes three wines from 18 hectares (45 acres) of vineyard. These are planted mostly to Semillon, with a small portion of Sauvignon Blanc. The Grand Vin is thus predominantly Semillon, and is made from botrytis-affected grapes. In exceptional vintages, a second wine called L'Extravagant de Doisy-Daëne is made as well, although this is designated under the Sauternes appellation. Barsac is the only one of the five villages within the Sauternes viticultural area to have its own appellation. L'Extravagant takes advantage of laws that allow estates to choose between the two designations. Doisy-Daëne also makes a dry, barrel-aged Sauvignon Blanc, the Château Doisy-Daëne Grand Vin Sec. This carries the broad Bordeaux AOC designation. The estate was once part of a larger property which was divided into three individual châteaux in the mid-19th Century. Château Doisy-Védrines and Doisy-Dubroca are also Grand Cru Classé Second Growths, known for their dessert wines made with botrytized grapes. Doisy-Daëne is one of five châteaux owned by the Dubourdieu family. All located in Bordeaux, the other estates are Châteaux Reynon, Cantegril, Haura and Clos Floridène. Denis Dubourdieu (1949-2016) was an acclaimed enologist and director of the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences of the University of Bordeaux.
