2009 Extravagant de Doisy Daene 2009 375ml

99 POINTS

Neal Martin - Wine Advocate

There are probably around seven casks of the 2009 L’Extravagant de Doisy-Daene, although that may decrease a little after racking. An equal blend of Semillon and Sauvignon, it delivers a record 220gms residual sugar and yet still exudes astounding minerality and precision, with touches of clear honey, frangipane and cold wet stones. The palate is fullbodied with a mellifluous texture, perfect acidity to slice through that rich botrytized fruit, stunning balance, citrus peel, apricot, Clementine, lemon curd and a hint of ginger. With awesome length, leaving that tingling sensation akin to Szechuan pepper, this wine truly lives up to its name.

Bernard Burtschy - Le Figaro

Elaboré avec un soin extrême avec 50 % de sauvignon et 50 % de sémillon, cette cuvée de Doisy-Daëne qui ne doit pas dépasser 1 200 bouteilles est à la fois ample et riche avec une matière phénoménale (12°5 et 235 g de sucre), mais sans aucune lourdeur, le tout dans un style impressionnant de grâce. De robe paille, le nez est très intense, d’un très grande complexité. En bouche, le vin est ample, gras et riche, velouté et plein, avec une grosse matière, une très grande richesse. 12°5 + 235 g de sucres résiduels.

James Suckling - Wine Spectator

This is rich and concentrated, with crème brûlée and apple crumble on the nose and palate. Full-bodied and very sweet. Thick and powerful. Layered and massive.

René Gabriel - WeinWisser

50 % Sémillon, 50 % Sauvignon Blanc, 235 g Restzucker, 4 200 halbe Flaschen Gesamtproduktion. Intensives Gelb, leuchtender Rand. Bombiges Bouquet, nicht breit, sondern mit gebündelter Power, viel weisser Pfirsich, Mirabellen, Akazienhonig, weisser Pfeffer, parfümierte Botrytis. Am Gaumen ein gewaltiges Süssepaket, molliges Extrakt, das wie Melasse über die Zunge fliesst, völlig komplex und sensationell ausgelegt. Ein dicker, also besonderer Barsac-Nektar für Süssweinbären, denen der normale Restzuckergehalt eines Barsac/Sauternes nicht ausreicht. Seine finale Grösse wird er wohl ansatzweise erst in 20 Jahren zeigen können. 2020-2080 19/20
