A focused and pure Sauternes with sliced-apricot and orange character, as well as apple pie and light caramel. Spicy. Medium-bodied, sweet and flavorful. Very pretty and true.

The 2023 Doisy-Vedrines doesn't quite deliver the complexity of the Doisy-Daene on the nose, though it opens nicely with aeration to reveal lemon sherbet, saffron and light tangerine aromas. It is not as immediate as other Sauternes in this vintage, but it does exude elegance. The palate is well balanced with a very pure, tensile opening. This seems to be a less fat" Doisy-Vedrines compared to other vintages, possessing a fine bead of acidity. It's lightly spiced with a tang of marmalade and quince toward the finish. This is a noble Barsac in the making."
