Château Doisy-Daëne, located in Barsac and classified as a Second Growth in 1855, is one of the Dubourdieu family's most iconic properties. Renowned for the precision, finesse, and purity of its white wines, the wine estate has distinguished itself since the early 20th century through its demanding approach to viticulture and winemaking. L'Extravagant is a rare cuvée, as it is only produced in great vintages.
The 2006 vintage has an intense, bright, and luminous golden color. The nose opens with a complex bouquet of candied and exotic fruits: mango, pineapple, passion fruit, dried apricot, and peach. Notes of honey, quince paste, and orange marmalade also stand out. A touch of candied ginger and orange blossom brings freshness and a subtle spicy dimension. On the palate, the attack is sumptuous and full-bodied. The body has a beautiful density that envelops the palate with great richness. A perfectly chiseled acidity balances the whole and prevents heaviness. The flavors of candied fruit, honey, citrus zest, and sweet spices unfold with intensity, demonstrating incredible concentration. The finish is very long, carried by aromas of exotic fruits.
The 2006 L'Extravagant de Doisy-Daëne is an exceptional sweet wine: intense, precise, with dazzling purity and prodigious aging potential. A true demonstration of mastery and elegance.
