Bordeaux Clos Floridène

Our committee's review

A treasured property of the Dubourdieu family, Château Doisy-Daëne, a Cru Classé of Sauternes, Clos Floridène was the intimate refuge of Florence and Denis Dubourdieu (who passed away in 2016). Jean-Jacques and Fabrice, following in their father’s footsteps, continue to elevate this charming Graves vineyard to elite status, using their meticulous care and extensive knowledge of these terroirs. This estate produces, in both white and red, some of Bordeaux's finest wines.

Boosted by the freshness and excellent maturity of the 2023 vintage, which was particularly successful for whites, this year's offering is another gem in limited quantities. It is sure to find its audience and age beautifully. A reliable choice, cherished by one of the most renowned families in Bordeaux!
