Château Doisy-Daëne 1990 - Sauternes - Barsac

Presentation of the domain

Château Doisy-Daëne, in the heart of Barsac, has embodied the grace and elegance of Sauternes for over two centuries. A family estate committed to tradition, it stretches across hillsides overlooking the Garonne, bathed in morning mists that are ideal for noble rot.

Presentation of the vintage

Crafted with respect for the terroir, this 1990 vintage comes from a botrytized harvest, fermented in oak barrels. A classic blend: mostly Sémillon for body and longevity, Sauvignon for liveliness and citrus notes, Muscadelle for a floral touch. A subtle balance between residual sugar and elegance.

Presentation of the vintage

1990 in Sauternes is a rare year, less abundant than 1988 or 1991, but marked by beautiful concentration, elegant tension and remarkable aging potential. Today, the wines reveal a silky and vibrant maturity.
