Chateau Doisy-Vedrines is a Bordeaux producer in Barsac known for its botrytized dessert wines. It was rated a Grand Cru Classe Second Growth in the 1855 classification of Sauternes and Barsac for its sweet blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. It is one of the chateaux that were created from the large historic Doisy property. Doisy was established in 1704, but divided into three separate wine estates in 1851, the other two being Chateau Doisy-Daine and Chateau Doisy-Dubroca. At 30 hectares (74.1 acres), of which 27 are under vine, Doisy-Vedrines is the largest of the three. Vedrines has been owned by the Casteja family since the 19th Century, who also own several other Bordeaux estates under their major negociant business Borie-Manoux, namely Chateau Batailly in Pauillac and Chateau Trotte Vieille in Saint-?milion.
