The 2016 Château Doisy-Daëne from the Barsac appellation in Bordeaux is a prestigious sweet white wine, renowned for its richness and complexity. While the specific blend isn't provided, Barsac wines are traditionally crafted from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, known for their aromatic intensity and potential for aging. The terroir of Barsac, characterized by its limestone-rich soils and proximity to the Garonne River, contributes to the distinct minerality and freshness of the wines. The Sauternais region, celebrated for its unique microclimate, facilitates the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which concentrates the grape sugars and flavours, enhancing the wine’s opulence. Château Doisy-Daëne is a historic estate with a reputation for producing exceptional sweet wines, blending traditional winemaking techniques with modern innovations.
For pairing, this luscious wine excels alongside blue cheeses, such as Roquefort, where its sweetness complements the saltiness of the cheese. It’s also delightful with foie gras, either as a pâté or pan-seared, where the wine’s acidity cuts through the richness. For a regional touch, consider pairing it with a tarte Tatin or other caramel-based desserts, which resonate with the wine's honeyed and stone fruit notes.
When serving this Barsac, aim for a slightly chilled temperature of 10-12°C. Decanting is not necessary for such a young vintage, but allowing it to breathe in the glass can reveal intricate layers of aroma. Begin with a visual inspection, noting its golden hue. Upon smelling, anticipate aromas of apricot, citrus peel, and honey. The tasting experience should reveal balanced sweetness and acidity, with a long, satisfying finish, showcasing the wine's complexity and craftsmanship.
