White - Vintage: 2018 - Size: 750 ml.
Extremely rich in texture on the attack. This is hugely concentrated with power and poise to the white peach and pear flavours, shot through with lemon and lime. Knitted down right now. 37% new oak.
Pale to medium lemon-gold in color, the 2018 Doisy-Vedrines gives up bold notes of warm pineapple, baked pears and spice cake with nuances of orange blossoms, toasted almonds and baking bread. The palate provides a great intensity of tropical and citrus flavors with a racy line of freshness and long, spicy finish.

A fresh, creamy Sauternes with sliced lemon, dried apple and hints of apricot and honey. Medium-bodied with light sweetness and a fruity finish. Drink now.
Wine Spectator: 92
Languid in feel, with almond and peach notes framed by a broad pie crust note.
Wine Enthusiast: 96
This concentrated wine is intense in botrytis and shows potential for aging. All this richness is balanced by a fresh streak and lemon zest acidity at the end.
