The palate is full-bodied, viscous on the entry and maintaining good balance, fine acidity cutting through the rich honey, quince and apricot fruit, with great definition and vitality towards the botrytis-rich finish. There is real pedigree here, and the 2007 surely represents their best wines since the triumvirate of 88, 89, and 90. This is a benchmark Doisy-Vedrines. Drink 2015-2045.89 Wine SpectatorDried lemon peel, honey and fresh floral aromas lead to a medium body, with a medium sweetness and spice, honey and dried apricot notes. Not a big Sauternes, but fresh and attractive, with a delicate finish. Best after 2011. ?JS Producer Château Doisy-VédrinesThe Chevaliers de Védrines owned this estate for centuries and passed down their name. Included in the 1855 Classification, it was acquired by the present owners in the mid-19th century. Doisy-Védrines is located on the clay-limestone rise in Haut-Barsac. The soil is ploughed the traditional way and the grapes are picked by hand in several waves (up to 6 or 8). Fermentation and ageing take place in barrels (exclusively French oak). The combination of modern and traditional techniques gives Château Doisy-Védrines its trademark richness and finesse typical of the finest wines of Sauternes. Annual production amounts to 36,000 bottles. When young, the wine is well-balanced and very delicious, especially as an aperitif. Older vintages are a delight at the end of a meal.
