L`Extravagant de Doisy-Daëne 2005 presents a unique exploration of Sauternes craftsmanship. This wine has 192 grams per litre of residual sugar, and carries an alcohol content of 12.3%. The nose reveals aromas of honey, mandarin and delicate yellow flowers, alongside hints of petrol. On the palate, it is notably unctuous with a complexity of peach and citrus notes. This wine is produced by Château Doisy-Daëne, a renowned estate established in the 18th century, known for its meticulous cultivation of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes predominantly for sweet wines.

Tasted blind at the 10-Year On Tasting in Sauternes. The 2005 L’Extravagant de Doisy Daëne has 3.9grams of acidity, 192 grams per liter of residual sugar and 12.3% alcohol. The 2005 has a powerful bouquet with honey, mandarin, a touch of petrol and yellow flowers on the nose, later developing that seductive marzipan scent that draws you in like a tractor beam. The palate is unctuous in the mouth that is probably going to be sugar-coated for the next year or two, but there are some gorgeous peach and citrus notes that flourish on the finish. It is more a force of nature than a wine!
95 Vinous
- Pale yellow-gold. Deep, brooding, nobly rotten aromas of apricot, pineapple, spices, honey, truffle and game. Fat, thick and honeyed, with a softer and more unctuous texture than the 2007. But the exhilarating notes of musky brown spices give a magically light touch to the palate-staining fruit flavors of pineapple syrup and apricot. Finishes wonderfully sweet and long, with a texture of liquid silk.
17 Jancis Robinson
Ripe citrus and pineapple, slightly nutty, concentrated on the mid palate and pure, very good balancing acidity. Good and almost extravagant. (JH)
