The Wine Independent
Reviewed April 2024A blend of 83% Semillon, 15% Sauvignon Blanc, and 2% Muscadelle, the 2016 Doisy-Vedrines has 141 g/L of residual sugar. It has a pale to medium straw-gold color and gives up wonderful scents of ripe, juicy pineapples and green mango, before opening out to notes of honeycomb, coriander seed, chalk dust, and lime blossoms. The concentrated, full, rich palate delivers an impressive backbone of refreshing acidity, finishing with epic length and depth. (LPB)

This almost dry wine is full of botrytized fruit tones. Well balanced, it is likely to turn into a rich, dense wine as it matures, with ample acidity that shines on the finish. (RV)

Decanter
Based in Barsac, and has that wonderful spicy tight minerality of a Barsac. A really late harvest this year, right through til the end of October. This has such a beautiful balm yet again for me lacks some pep. It's not a 2007 or 2001 or 2011. But it's gorgeous. The texture of these wines is so crazily seductive and the power and intensity of toasted blood orange slices is stunning, but it would benefit from a lime soaked twist. (JA)

Wine Advocate
The pale lemon colored 2016 Doisy-Vedrines is a little closed to begin, giving way to notes of lemonade, grapefruit, white peaches and yuzu with wafts of ginger, honeycomb and crushed rocks. The palate is wonderfully elegant and refreshing with delicate citrus and mineral layers and a lively citrus lift to the finish. (LPB) 93+
