2019 Chateau Doisy Daene 1500ml

98 POINTS

Jane Anson - Decanter

As ever with this wine, you wait for the hit of sweetness that seems inevitable when you see the name and instead you are surprised by just how tight the flavours are, and how soaring the lift on the finish. A great L'Extravagant, apricot balanced by apricot pit, creamy citrus balanced by citrus peel and zest, all rolled up with white truffle and soft pepper notes. 3.73pH.

I love this, the flavors are utterly moreish and mouthfilling, tons of creamy lemon tart, flaky pastry against rich nectarine, tart citrus and lime flavours. Clearly this is a concentrated and gourmet year, but this has delicious balance - excellent quality.

Peter Moser - Falstaff

Medium golden yellow with silver reflections. Fresh white tropical fruit, with delicate blossom honey, subtle spice and vanilla from the oak, and ripe mango in the background. It is juicy, powerful, and close-knit, with sweet yellow peach, pineapple on the finish, good freshness, and very good length. Certain ageing potential.

James Suckling

Full-bodied with very spicy, dried-pear and honey character. Mango and toffee as well. It shows lots of intensity.

Peter Moser - Falstaff

Light yellow gold, silver reflections. Smoky herbal spice, cloves and honey, white fruit. Medium complexity, yellow peach, subtle wood spice, salty minerality, sweet finish, somewhat rustic, orange on the finish, will benefit from bottle ageing.

James Suckling

White pears, peaches, lemon meringue and acacia honey on the nose. Medium-bodied with succulent lemon-pie character. Sweet, yet fresh and tangy. Excellent balance.
