Tasting notes
The 2024 Ch. Doisy-Védrines is wonderfully rich and complex on the nose, with notes of candied citrus fruit and white peach. The estate has managed to retain power and finesse on a mid-palate that offers up notes of lemon peel and tropical fruit. There’s a backbone of salinity, with a touch of pleasing bitterness on the finish. Blend: 84% Semillon, 14% Sauvignon Blanc, 2% Muscadelle
