No idea what this cost but the 2008 sells for about £20.

Sweet sweet beeswax and orange marmalade. Nothing from the sauvignon ( I thought sauternes was just semillon ).

I was meant to get lush apricots in syrup. I didn't. I didn't get to keep the bottle.

Mrs G turned down a glass....can't imagine why.

I had to laugh !

Same mix as d'Yquem and Coutet 80 / 20

The Doisy-Daene has delicacy, freshness and elegance. I've never tasted the Vedrines.

Peppercorn says Vedrines 2e cru classe' is in contrast to the other Doisy's, in that it is fuller and richer, but to his mind lacks the breed of the other two and is clumsey, and not so stylish.

Goose, you seemed to have sussed that out for yourself. But then a 2005, so hardly a chance for the botrytis to evolve in the bouquet or flavour ?

Your Misses refused a glass ? So she will never know this wine !

Reading between the lines, Vedrines appears to make a finer wine in less favourable years.
