Chateau d’Yquem has few if any peers but if you had to single out one wine that regularly competes on the same level, Doisy Daene’s top cuvee ‘L’Extravagant’ would stake a good claim. As the name suggests this is a rich, opulent Sauternes that wows and beguiles in equal measure - “a magnificent Doisy Daene that certainly lives up to its name,” writes Martin. Indeed it does.
Tasting Notes and Scores
Tasted at the Sauternes 2006 ten-year on horizontal in Bordeaux. The 2006 L'Extravagant Doisy Daene has a rich, opulent and honeyed bouquet that seems to not so much seduce the olfactory senses, but get down to business straight away. The palate is rounded and sensual with pure honey, blood orange, popcorn and touches of nougat towards the tender finish. Beautifully balanced, unctuous and somehow effortless, this is a magnificent Doisy Daene that certainly lives up to its name. Tasted April 2016. Drink 2016-2050.
