2022 Doisy Vedrines
Buying options
Tasting Notes
A blend of 90% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc, and 2% Muscadelle, the 2022 Doisy-Vedrines has 162 g/L of residual sugar. It is pale lemon-straw in color and it is very spicy on the nose, with scents of ginger ale, allspice, and anise springing from the glass, followed by hints of juicy apricots and pears, plus a touch of cedar. The palate is rich, decadently sweet, and unctuous, with a lively backbone and great length.

Lush, sweet, ripe, yellow tropical fruits with pineapples, apricots, and candied orange all coated with honey are in the nose and palate. Drink from 2025-2045. 93-93 Pts
Intense sunflower colour, with fig and dried apricot on the nose. The Castéja family have teased impressive freshness out of the richness of this wine, giving edges of lime zest to the silky, concentrated fruits and textures which are found in all the sweet wines in 2022. Harvest October 2 to 28, 4 selections, 8hl/h. There was no production in 2021 on this wine after the frost. Tasted twice.
