Critic Scores

(Barsac; 100% Sauvignon Blanc; 13.5% alcohol; tasted in Bordeaux from a sample sent by Jean Jacques Dubourdieu). I only ever get to taste this once, so there's only one 'wow', but it's a big one! A candidate, as ever, for the strangest wine in all of Bordeaux. Noone ever believes when I remind them that this is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Incredible. So dense, compact, yet so lifted and ethereal, this carries a load of sucrosity but it projects it into the stratosphere with fireworks of freshness. We have the purest essence of citrus, copious ginger notes and a fruit profile a little difficult to describe - white pear, confit pear, canteloupe melon and lemon meringue pie with the gravity-defying fluffiness and levity that implies. We also have peanut brittle (I've noticed that here before) and a brilliantly tactile zestyness that I also find in Doisy-Daëne itself and, if a little less so, in Doisy-Dubroca. Monumental but also aerial and utterly ethereal. It's always a little bit different as a wine; this year it's a lot different! - 97 to 99 Points - Colin Hay

The 2025 Doisy-Daëne L'Extravagant is fabulous. It offers an exotic mix of tangerine confit, candied ginger, marzipan, passion fruit and a kiss of new French oak. Airy and light on its feet, with superb depth, the 2025 shows exceptionally well. - 95 to 97 Points - Antonio Galloni

About this Wine

Bordeaux

Bordeaux produces some of the most highly sought after and revered wines in the world. Located close to the coast, in the south-west of France the town and is divided by the Gironde River. Wines to the west of the river are referred to as left bank, and are Cabernet dominant. To the East of the river, on the right bank Merlot is the dominant grape variety. Throughout the 57 appellations, over 10,000 wine-making châteaux grow the red grapes; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. These are commonly blended and collectively referred to as clarets. Smaller amounts of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc is also grown in Bordeaux.

In 1855, due to the high export demands of Bordeaux wines, Emporer Napoleon III requested an official Bordeaux classification system, based on market costs of the wines at the time. The Chateaux were classified in to five ‘growths’ from first growth to fifth growth and cru Bourgois. Also in 1855 The Sauternes and Barsac classification covered the sweeter wines, with Chateau d’Yquem the only Superior First Growth, followed by Premiers Crus and Deux Deuxièmes Crus.
