L’Extravagant de Doisy
Sauternes
Description
Château Doisy-Daëne’s grapes happily grow on thier Barsac terroir where they later welcome noble rot. The berries, nearly mauve in colour, produce a highly concentrated juice that goes on to create a rich, syropy nectar.
This rare pearl only sees the light of day in the best years and is composed of two thirds Sémillon and a third Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes grow on sandy clay soils before they are later pressed for two days – longer than other might be – and the wine is matured for 10 months in barrels.
This fine cuvée is pure, striking and balanced.
iDealwine En Primeur Tasting Note: “A wine with a very distinctive style. The nose unveils a delightful medley of candied fruit aromas like quince, apricot, pineapple and apple. The pleasant floral aromatic structure is dominated by jasmine. Enticing notes of sweet spices and honey invite you to take a sip. On the palate, the initial drop is supple and complex. Flavour, texture and finesse come together in harmony. The finish is exceptionally elegant, balancing depth with a certain juiciness. “
