  The Wine Palate: The 2014 Yquem has 146 grams per litre of residual sugar, 13.5 % alcohol, and a pH of 3.6, with a pale to medium straw-gold colour. It begins with a single, pure, resonating note of orange blossom before unfurling to include provocative scents of aniseed, white pepper, allspice, and beach sand, followed by an intense core of lime cordial and green mango. Pow - the palate hits you like a crashing wave of vibrant citrus fruits and savoury/spicy sparks, framed by the plushest of textures and a razor cut line of freshness, finishing with incredible length and vigour. This is a masterpiece.

Barrel Sample. Apricot tones with lively acidity give this rich wine a vein of freshness. Pear and white peach notes offer weight, while a lime backbone brings levity. There is a richness from the botrytis that is lifted by this wines delicious freshness.

  Tasted blind. Mid gold. Deep apricot aroma. Chewy, very sweet and a bit sweet-sour on the finish. Intense, and the sweetness is balanced by the flavour of bitter orange that helps with the balance. Great concentration and length.When to drink: 2022 to 2045

Golden yellow colour. Intense and subtle nose, with ripe fruit, menthol and very fresh notes. Mellow and melting palate, with an airy body, developing flavoursome, towards a long complex, sappy and noble finish.

Very much on the honeyed, citrus side of the style range. Lots of sweet, ripe, very ripe and overripe yellow fruits, ranging from pineapple and grapefruits to candied lemons. There is a lot of sweetness to the wine, paired with bracing acidity at 4.9 grams per litre, coupled with 135 grams of residual sugar, for those of you that like the numbers. This could be a thinking man's Yquem.

Château d'Yquem
Château d'Yquem

Château d'Yquem is an absolute reference among great sweet wines and holds a unique place in the viticultural history of Bordeaux. Located at the heart of the Sauternes appellation, the estate benefits from an exceptional terroir and microclimate that favour the development of botrytis cinerea. In the official 1855 classification, Château d'Yquem achieved an unrivalled status by being designated Premier Cru Supérieur, a distinction unique among the grands crus classés.

The identity of Château d'Yquem rests on an extreme level of rigour at every stage of production: very low yields, successive harvest passes (tries) and strict selection of grapes. Long the property of the Lur Saluces family, the estate has belonged since 1997 to the LVMH group, which has chosen to preserve the château's technical independence and historic standards of excellence.

In great years, Château d'Yquem produces vintages that have become iconic, such as the 1908 wine through to the 1921 vintage, considered its pinnacle, by way of 1928 and 1929 which close out a prosperous decade, then the 1937 wine and the 1963 vintage, illustrating an exceptional ageing capacity that can extend over several decades, or even beyond.
