"Surprising and, as is often the case with Barsac, aromatically more typical and original than 2005, superior elegance, rare purity, not a trace, however small, of iodine, great length." (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2011 - Bettane & Desseauve). Another of Denis Debourdieu's renowned estates, Doisy Daëne 2006 seduces with its aromatic intensity and rich perfumes combining exotic and fresh fruit, with a superb, well-balanced, fresh finish.
Delivery in wooden cases for orders of 12 bottles of this wine.
