The focus here is on pineapple and apricot fruit. Citrus curd and lime zest run through the palate, and the clear sweetness is balanced by a zesty lift. It feels young and enticing even at 20 years old, and the colour retains a fresh sunflower gold, just starting to russet around the edges. Denis Dubourdieu had begun running Doisy-Daëne in 2000, taking over from his father Pierre, so this was his second vintage. Fermentation and ageing in barrel.
