Chateau Climens, barsac
“The aromatics display pure honey, minerals, occasionally a faint
scent of spearmint and white peach, most with spellbinding
precision. On the palate, Berenice Lurton has some stupendous
lots at her disposal, with ample botrytis, ethereal definition,
one or two more powerful, quite spicy lots and others that are
shorter and will undoubtedly lend the blend an acidic cut. It
will be a joy to taste this after bottling.”

Chateau Doisy Daëne, barsac
“The Doisy Daene 2009 is quite delicious now giving intense
aromas of lemon marmalade, preserved kumquat, mandarin peel
and honeycomb. The palate is big, rich and sweet with a seductive
silkiness and around 150 g/l of residual sugar / 14% alcohol.”

Chateau Doisy Védrines, barsac
“Richly layered and detailed, but thoroughly mouthwatering,
this lets lacy citrus, floral and white peach flavors meld into a
core of quince, fig and persimmon fruit, while warm piecrust
and honey roasted almond notes drive through the finish. Very
long, with superb cut despite its power.”
