Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (95)

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.

Jancis Robinson (18)

Very deep colour and exotic and wonderfully peachy and dried apricot informed with excellent acidity. This certainly explains why Doisy-Daëne did not shine more brightly in the blind UGC tasting – it’s amazingly concentrated! And surely one of the sweetest bordeaux produced in 2006. Wonderfully exciting and rises totally above the vintage reputation. One of the best Sauternes. Already lots to find here – maybe one does not have to wait too long for it to reveal itself. (JR)
