It is against my better judgment to taste the sweet wines of Barsac and Sauternes at such an early age, as I find they typically require at least 12 months to reveal the definition/delineation so essential in these creamy, creme brulee, and honeysuckle-flavored offerings. Nevertheless, because this vintage is so highly regarded, I tasted through most of the top estates. The 2003s appear to be somewhat in the style of the 1990s, with high levels of residual sugar (higher than 2001 for the most part) as well as botrytis, low acidity, and fat, full-bodied personalities. This region?s harvest began extremely early (early September), and was completely finished within three weeks. It does not appear that the nobleness and racy richness of the 2001 vintage will be found in the 2003s, but readers who like the big, flamboyant, over the top style of the 1990s will enjoy the 2003s even more than I did. Unlike most of my red wine tastings, this offering was only tasted once. Readers should keep in mind that this a very early, pre-bottling judgment from very unevolved wine that is not nearly as defined and easy to evaluate as the reds.

Wow. This shows superintense aromas of dried pineapple, apple tart and pecan pie with honey. Full-bodied and medium-sweet, with lovely honey character and a medium finish. Not as good as the 2001. Best after 2009. 2,500 cases made. ?JS
Produttore
Château Doisy-Védrines
I Chevaliers de Védrines hanno posseduto questa tenuta per centinaia d’anni e ne hanno tramandato il nome. Inclusa nella Classificazione del 1855, la tenuta venne acquistata dai proprietari attuali a metà del XIX secolo. Doisy-Védrines si trova sul rilievo argillo-calcareo di Haut-Barsac. Il terreno è arato in modo tradizionale e le uve sono raccolte a mano in più tornate (fino a 6 o 8). Fermentazione e invecchiamento avvengono in barile (esclusivamente di quercia francese). La combinazione di tecniche moderne e tradizionali conferisce al Château Doisy-Védrines il suo marchio di ricchezza e sottigliezza tipiche dei vini migliori della Sauternes. La produzione annuale ammonta a 36.000 bottiglie. Quando è giovane, si tratta di un vino ben bilanciato ed estremamente delizioso, in particolare come aperitivo. Le annate più vecchie sono una delizia da fine pasto.
