Pale lemon-gold in color, the 2020 Doisy Daëne shoots from the glass with vibrant scents of lime cordial, orange blossoms and preserved ginger, plus suggestions of wild mushrooms, honey-drizzled pears and nutmeg. The palate is seductively rich and viscous with a beautifully balanced backbone of acidity and loads of earth and spice accents complementing the preserved citrus flavors, finishing long, lifted and lively. A very impressive achievement! (94-96) LISA PEROTTI-BROWN, The Wine Advocate
The 2020 Doisy-Daëne has a tightly coiled but complex bouquet, with touches of melted candle wax infusing the honeyed fruit. There is just a hint of oak to be absorbed. The palate is well balanced, with a harmonious, viscous opening, a silver bead of acidity and well-integrated wood. The pedigree of this Sauternes comes through on the finish. Excellent, but it needs time. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. (95) NEAL MARTIN, Vinous
Mangoes, peaches, lemon pie and honey on the nose. Hint of mushrooms. It’s medium-bodied with excellent balance and a savory element to the sweet tropical fruit. Gorgeous length. Drink or hold. (94) CLAIRE NESBITT, JamesSuckling.com
