Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 20
Doisy-Daëne's 2017 Blanc Sec is an attractive wine, but either it has not developed as well as I had hoped, or I caught an off bottle. Floral and tropical flavors are nicely delineated, but there is also a dry edge that was not present in barrel.

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
