About this Item

Barsac 2007
1 (1 x 1) 750ml
Château Doisy-Védrines is a Second Growth of Barsac, a family estate of the Castéja family making a classic, richly botrytised sweet wine. 2007 was an outstanding Sauternes and Barsac vintage for botrytis. Jancis Robinson gave it 17 out of 20, and Neal Martin from Vinous gave it a rating of 91.

Critics Ratings

"Dark bronze. Sweet and a bit simple on the nose. Broad, like a trumpet. Really quite evolved. Lots of easy pleasure. Long." - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Nov 2011)

"The 2007 Doisy-Védrines has a well-defined, quite generous bouquet with dried honey, peach skin and overripe Clementines; there is ample botrytis here, though not quite as nuanced as Daëne. The palate is well balanced with marmalade and quince, moderate depth, fine acidity, but maybe it has lost a little complexity on the finish in recent years. Still, this is a decent Barsac that ought to give another 15-30 years' drinking pleasure. Tasted at the 2007 horizontal in Sauternes." - Neal Martin, Vinous, 91/100 (Apr 2022)
