Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, June 2004

...There is only a tiny amount of the light gold/green-colored 2001 Doisy-Daene l'Extravagant (primarily Sauvignon Blanc). As the name suggests, it is extravagantly rich as well as very full-bodied with extraordinary purity and intensity. The finish lasts for over a minute. There are loads of botrytis in addition to caramelized tropical fruits, zesty acidity, and striking clarity of expression...

Wine Spectator, September 2004

...Liquid honey in appearance. Incredibly ripe with dried apricot, orange and mace. Full-bodied, thick and powerful with amazing richness and spiciness. It goes on and on and on. This concentration is phenomenal. Yet it's lively and spicy. Huge finish...

About Winery

The three Doisy vineyards of Barsac, Daene, Vedrines, and Dubroca, all stem from a single estate whose history is not well documented. The earliest records of Doisy come from the 18th century and they describe an estate south of Chateau Coutet owned by the Vedrines family. Though its early history is elusive, by the early 19th century the estate was recognized as one of the most prominent vineyards in Barsac. At some point in the 19th century, the single vineyard was divided by mandates of Napoleonic law. The largest portion of the vineyard stayed with the Vedrines family.  The second smaller portion was acquired by the Faux family which subsequently began the era Doisy-Dubroca, which was then acquired by the Daene family to produce Chateau Doisy Daene. The vineyards has switched hands a few times through the generations, but the Doisy Daene has consistently produced amazing wines that have captured the attention of wine connoisseurs the world over.

The Doisy Daene is very typical of the Barsac: a mix of red sand and clay with solid limestone bedrock and fossilized shellfish. The vines are largely vieilles vignes, although parts of the vineyard were intensively replanted in the 1940s and 1950s. The vineyard's 15.9 hectares are planted with extensive amounts of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle.
