The estate

The Château Doisy-Védrines, some of whose buildings date back to the 16th century, takes its name from the Knights of Védrines who were the historical owners until the mid-19th century, when the Castéja family acquired the château. This 1855 Classified Grand Cru of Sauternes stands out for the rich and liqueur-like style of its wines, which are perfectly suited for ageing and flourish wonderfully over the years.

The vineyard

Located in the Barsac terroir, Château Doisy-Védrines has a beautiful Haut-Barsac hillside, mainly composed of clay-limestone soils and shallow fine gravel, all resting on a limestone plateau with asterias. The 27-hectare vineyard, in one piece - whose vines are over 35 years old - cultivates Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle and Sémillon. A renowned reference among the Sauternes wines, Château Doisy-Védrines has been HVE 3 certified since 2019.
