2017 L’Extravagant, Chateau Doisy-Daene, Barsac (1 x Half Bottle)
The 2017 Doisy-Daëne L'Extravagant towers with its majestic beauty and total class. Somehow unctuous and yet also vibrant, the 2017 is simply magical. Orchard fruit, lemon confit, white flowers and mint are all deftly woven together. L'Extravagant is distinguished by its oily, viscous feel. It is in many ways an extreme wine, and yet it is so hauntingly beautiful.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2017 L’Extravagant comes charging out of the glass with pure grapefruit and pineapple notes with hints of straw, fresh ginger and lime zest. Super sweet, super crisp and with incredible layers, it is completely packed with citrus and tropical layers, finishing very long.

The 2017 Doisy-Daëne L’Extravagant could very well turn out to be the wine of the vintage in Sauternes and Barsac. A wine of simply extraordinary balance, L’Extravagant boasts tremendous aromatic presence as well as tons of sheer density. Layers of flavor and texture unfold effortlessly in a majestic, plush wine that simply has it all. Generous and rich, but not in any way excessive, L’Extravagant is a total head-turner. Don’t miss it!

Vinous
The 2017 L’Extravagant de Doisy-Daëne comes from two tries, one at the end of September and the second during the first week of October. Although it has between 195 to 200gl/L residual sugar, it has a less flamboyant bouquet than recent vintages. This feels much more controlled and focused with pure honeyed fruit laced with white peach, yellow plum and a light resinous scent. The palate is medium-bodied with sumptuous, unctuous honeyed fruit, mango, persimmon and a little lemon peel that lends tension towards the powerful, show-stopping finish. It lives up to its name. (Readers should note that there is just one and a half barrels instead of the normal three or four.)
