The three Doisy wine estates, Chteau Doisy Dane, Chteau Doisy-Vdrines, Chteau Doisy-Dubroca, originate from one single estate. The earliest documented mention of the Doisy wine cru is in Andr Julliens book Topographie de tous les vignobles connus in 1832. The Dane part of the name comes from Jean Jacques Emmanuel Dane, who was the vineyard owner and a wine merchant in Bordeaux, and who at some stage bought one of three portions of the estate. J.J.E. Dane’s three sons inherited the wine estate in 1875, and in the same year they sold a portion of it the Dubroca brothers of Doisy-Dubroca. In 1878 Doisy-Dane was sold to Jean Paul Billot, and his daughter Pauline inherited it in 1884, and sold it to the Debans brothers in 1889.
Georges Dubourdieu bought Doisy Dane from the heirs of the Debans brothers in
1924. For more than eighty years, three generations of winegrowerspassionate about the production of great white wines. Only in great vintages, Doisy Dane produces the famous and rare cuveThe Extravagant of unparalleled richness.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker’s rating: 98 points)
Pale to medium gold colored, the 2009 L’Extravagant drifts sensuously from the glass with evolving notions of burnt sugar, apple pie, crme caramel and praline plus hints of honey-coated walnuts and powdered ginger. Very sweet, rich, full-on unctuous and densely laden in the mouth, the palate possesses almost electric freshness supporting layer after layer of dried fruit and nut notions, finishing very long.
