A Doisy wine was first mentioned in the “Topography of all Known Vineyards” written by André Jullien (1832). Doisy growth was included among the twenty first classified Bordeaux white wines of which there are five.
Daëne is in Charles Cock's classification (1846), ranked among the 4 classified first growths of Barsac with Coutet, Climens and Myrat. In 1850 the same writer classified it among the 11 Bordeaux white first growths. The name Doisy Daëne stems from a combination of the Doisy growth using the proprietor's name, Jean Jacques Emmanuel Daêne, a Bordeaux wine merchant.
The growth that appears in the 1855 classification is Doisy belonging to Daëne.
In 1875, JJE Daëne's three sons inherited the growth. In the same year a portion was sold to the Dubroca Brothers who, in turn, in 1978, sold Doisy-Daëne to Jean Paul Billot. His only daughter, Pauline, who married Jean Lodoïs Juhel-Renoy, a Parisian wine merchant, inherited the estate. She then sold it to the Debans brothers in 1889. Georges Dubourdieu bought Doisy-Daëne from the heirs of the Debans brothers in 1924. Thus over a span of 80 years we have three generations of winemakers, from father to son, whose greatest passion is the making of fine wines Georges, Pierre and Denis.
Georges, a perfectionist, vigneron and winemaker acquired the growth and confirmed his reputation by means of legendary vintages up until 1949.
Pierre was both passionate and entrepreneurial. In his quest for innovation he enlarged Doisy-Daëne by acquiring a section of Doisy-Dubroca; in the early 1950's, he created the Doisy-Daëne Grand Vin Sec. For a period of fifty years he produced memorable bottles.
Starting in 2000, Denis presided over the destiny of Doisy-Daëne. Simultaneously he was professor at the Oenology faculty in Bordeaux as well as becoming an internationally famous Consulting oenologist. His sons Fabrice and Jean Jacques came on board in 2004.
After his untimely death in 2016, his sons, fourth Dubourdieu generation on Doisy-Daëne, have continued the family project.
