Château d'Yquem
There was no frost at d'Yquem in 2017, and the botrytis was very consistent in this vintage. The nose opens with very pure notes of freshly sliced oranges, yuzu and lemon barley water with hints of white pepper, fresh ginger and lime syrup. The incredibly rich, unctuous sweetness (148 grams per litre of residual sugar) is beautifully marbled with bright, vivid citrus and spice flavors, while being enhanced by a well-knit freshness, and it finishes with epic length and great depth...

There was no frost at d'Yquem in 2017, and botrytis was very regular and even this vintage. The nose opens with very pure notes of freshly sliced oranges, yuzu and lemon barley water with hints of white pepper, fresh ginger and lime cordial. The incredibly rich, unctuous sweetness (148 grams per liter of residual sugar) is beautifully marbled with bright, vivacious citrus fruit and spice flavors, while lifted by well-knit freshness, and it finishes with epic length and great depth.

The Estate Château d'Yquem
"Yquem jouit d'un statut unique qui le place pratiquement hors de tout jugement critique. La centaine d'hectares exploités se répartissent entre sémillion et sauvignon, sur des croupes graveleuses avec un sous-sol plus argileux.
Le groupe LVMH (qui l'a repris en 1999 avec à sa tête Pierre Lurton, arrivé en 2004), comme hier la famille Lur-Saluces (aujourd'hui au Château de Fargues), n'imagine même pas la possibilité de céder à la facilité.
Yquem mérite plus que jamais son rang de premier des premiers du Sauternais. L'arrivée du sauvignon dans les assemblages, la souplesse d'adaptation de l'élevage à la nature du millésime, et évidemment un savoir-faire agronomique, font de chaque millésime une fête encore plus précise et équilibrée que dans les décennies précédentes." 5*/5 Bettane+Desseauve
