Bordeaux 2023 Dry Whites

Another Dubourdieu entry, the Grand Vin Doisy Sec is wonderfully aromatic. Leaning towards the richer end of the scale, with notes of white peach, lemon rind and wet stone the Doisy is a nervy, fine lined joy. 100 % Sauvignon Blanc, the 2023 is nimble on its feet, energetic and the epitome of exciting Bordeaux Blanc. 0-5 years. Expected abv 13%

A floral and citrus nose leads to a palate with full and waxy flavours, pear and quince with excellent minerality, vivacious and sappy. Very well balanced with great length. A textbook white Bordeaux. 3-7 years. 

From the Dubourdieu stable, the 2023 Floridène leaps out of the glass with a heady nose of lemon zest, yellow fruit and chamomile. The palate is fresh with layered creamy, white pear notes. Perhaps more generous than in previous vintages, but still ofering the racy acidity you'd expect, fans will not be disappointed. 0-5 years.

A big and silky wine, rich and creamy with great depth of fruit and a touch of oak showing on the palate to give balance. Ripe and full but finishes with plenty of taut acidity. This is a very fine wine in a very great vintage for dry white Bordeaux. 3-9 years.
