Tasting notes
The 2015 L’Extravagant de Doisy-Daëne has a more understated bouquet for this super cuvée with beautifully defined, very pure honeyed fruit laced with orange pith and tinned apricot. The palate is exquisitely balanced with perfect acidity, gentle and caressing, not a flamboyant Barsac but so precise and pixelated. Wonderful.

One of the most plush, flamboyant wines of the year, the 2015 Doisy-Daëne L' Extravagant lives up to its name. Apricot jam, coconut, crème brulée, spice and exotic white flowers meld together in a Sauternes of exquisite beauty. This is a gorgeous wine from the late Denis Dubourdieu.

About the producer

This Second Growth estate has origins dating back to the late 1800s. It is, however, under the ownership of the Dubourdieu family – who took over the Barsac property in 1924 – that Ch. Doisy-Daëne truly flourished.
