<p>DV By Chateau Doisy Vedrines Sauternes, Bordeaux, France, 2024Grapes: A blend of 85% Semillon, 13% Sauvignon and 2% MuscadelleThere is a lot of freshness in this sweet wine, aromas such as fresh pineapple, mango and other citrus fruits. There is a very good balance, not too much sugar in the mouth and a good vivacity, which gives the wine this finesse and digestible character that makes you want to come back for more!Château Doisy-Védrines, the largest of the Doisy estates and a 2éme Cru Classé Barsac property, has been owned by the Castéja family since 1946. Doisy-Védrines`s 27 hectares of vineyards are situated on the highest plateau in Barsac. The crop is handpicked by successive selections (`tris`) as the workers pass through the vines, selecting only `botrytised grapes`. This is done three times. The wine ferments in barrels slowly until beginning of December and rests for a further year before being bottled. The finest barrels are reserved for the first wine but about 40% of production goes into the `second` wine DV. Thanks to the botrytis, this wine has developed aromas of exotic fruits, quinces and oranges. It has a deliciously smooth finish.Food Match: For an aperitif on its own, or with foie gras, or ideal with blue cheese like Stilton towards the end of the meal.DV By Chateau Doisy Vedrines Sauternes, Bordeaux, France, 2024</p>
