Château Doisy-Védrines 2012

The refinement and structure of a great Sauternes wine

The property
The Château Doisy-Védrines, some of whose buildings date back to the 16th century, bears the name of the Knights of Védrines, historical owners of the estate until the mid-19th century. It was at this time that the Castéja family acquired it. Classified as a Grand Cru in the prestigious 1855 classification, the château is renowned for its rich, sweet and highly elegant wines, designed for aging and capable of improving admirably over time.

The vineyard
Located in the commune of Barsac, the Doisy-Védrines vineyard extends over a beautiful ridge of Haut-Barsac, composed of clay-limestone soils and shallow fine gravels, resting on a limestone plateau with asterias. Covering 27 hectares in one piece, this old vineyard - with vines over 35 years old - hosts the emblematic grape varieties of the appellation: sémillon, sauvignon blanc and muscadelle.

Blend
The Château Doisy-Védrines 2016 is the result of a harmonious blend of sémillon, sauvignon blanc and muscadelle, revealing all the character and nobility of this great Sauternes terroir.
