Château Doisy-Däene - Grand Vin Sec Blanc 2020

Denis Dubourdieu was known as the "Pope of White Wine" and the "Professor of Bordeaux", where he consulted at such prestigious estates as Châteaux d'Yquem, Margaux, Cheval Blanc, Pichon Longueville Comtesse and Carbonnieux, just to name a few. He has received the Legion d'Honneur from the French Government, was named Decanter magazine’s 2016 Man of the Year and was the oenology editor of the most recent edition of the Oxford Companion to Wine. Dubourdieu was the world’s most well-known and respected academic-winemaker; a man whose works have been cited over 7,000 times globally and one who has trained some of the top winemakers in the world today. Though to truly understand Denis Dubourdieu's genius and passion for his wines, you need look no further than his flagship estate: Château Doisy-Däene.

The Grand Sec Blanc is a stunning Sauvignon Blanc wine that continues this estate's tradition of excellence. The wine pours a light gold with copper highlights in the glass. On the nose, aromas of mango, pineapple and passion fruit explode out of the glass. This wine arrests your attention and focuses your concentration on its richness and hedonistic aromas. On the palate, the wine has a racy, yet gorgeously rich body with concentrated and seductive tropical fruit flavors. These intense flavors cascade across the palate leading into a finish that is the perfect length. Once you're finished with your first glass, you’ll reach for the bottle to pour another.
