Tasting notes
Luminous golden hue with amber highlights, this Sauternes opens with lush aromas of candied apricot, orange blossom, and honeyed peach, underpinned by notes of saffron, toasted brioche, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine delivers a beautifully balanced interplay of rich sweetness and vibrant acidity, with flavors of quince, dried mango, and crème brûlée. The finish is long, elegant, and beautifully persistent with a signature botrytis complexity.

About this wine
Château Doisy-Vedrines is a Grand Cru Classé estate in Sauternes, Bordeaux, making this sweet white from botrytis-affected Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. At 13% ABV, it is a classic expression of the appellation's noble-rot tradition.
Expect the honeyed richness typical of Sauternes: apricot, candied citrus and a streak of acidity that keeps the sweetness in check. Pour it with fruit-based desserts and crème brûlée, or take it in the other direction with foie gras, Roquefort or blue cheese. Serve chilled, at 10-12°C.
