Château Doisy-Daëne "L'Extravagant" Sauvignon Blanc 2015
A 100% Sauvignon Blanc sweet wine from a region built on Sémillon — made only in the vintages that earn it, and only three barrels at a time.
Doisy-Daëne's regular lineup runs from a classic Sauternes through to the distinguished dry white Grand Vin Sec. L'Extravagant sits apart from both — a cuvée made only in the estate's great vintages, in tiny volumes, and built for unmatched richness.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Château Doisy-Daëne, a Second Growth of the 1855 Sauternes classification located in Barsac. The estate has been in the Dubourdieu family since 1924, across three generations — Georges, then Pierre, then Denis — each one pushing sweet Bordeaux further from its traditionally oxidative, heavy style toward something fresher and more precise.
Taste Profile: Elegant, reticent nose of lemon jelly, melon and saffron. Extremely rich and concentrated on the palate, with a viscous mouthfeel and pure, fresh citrus and sweet spice flavours running underneath the sweetness. Residual sugar sits around 204g/l against 9g/l total acidity — racy for something this rich, though it lacks the extra weight a splash of Sémillon would normally bring.
Winemaking Process: Made only when botrytis and the season cooperate, from hand-selected, successive passes through the vineyard. In 2015, that meant just three barriques of finished wine — a fraction of what the estate's regular Sauternes produces in the same vintage.
Winemaker: Denis Dubourdieu took over from his father Pierre in 2000, continuing three generations of Dubourdieu winemaking at Doisy-Daëne that began with his grandfather Georges in 1924. A professor of oenology at the University of Bordeaux as well as a winemaker, Denis spent his career refining the estate's sweet wines toward a cleaner, more mineral style with minimal oak — the opposite of the soft, oxidative Sauternes his grandfather's generation made. He passed away in July 2016, a year after this vintage; his sons Jean-Jacques and Fabrice Dubourdieu now carry the family's estates forward.
