| Over het wijnhuis | Château d'Yquem behoort in het rijtje van meest gewilde en beroemdste wijnen ter wereld. In de classificatie van 1855 heeft Château d'Yquem als enige de status van Premier Cru Supérieur gekregen, vanwege zijn uitzonderlijke kwaliteit. De fonetische vertaling van ‘Yquem’ in het Mandarijns is ‘een druppel goud’. We zouden de wijnen van Yquem niet beter kunnen omschrijven. |

| Awards | "A blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2022 d'Yquem is a strong candidate for the title of wine of the vintage. Exhibiting a remarkably delicate, complex and energetic bouquet of rose, confit citrus, exotic fruits and orange marmalade, it's full-bodied, dense and deep with a pristine balance enhanced by a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and beautiful, gastronomic bitterness and dry extracts that segue to a long, ethereal, delicately perfumed and refined finish. Lorenzo Pasquini and his team have perfectly understood the vintage by privileging the third tries, fully exposed to Botrytis cinerea, in the blend, bringing density and precision along with an energetic and splendidly balanced interplay of bitterness and sweetness. Residual sugar levels reach 160 grams per liter, marking it as the second-highest since the iconic 1945 vintage." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "A perfect Yquem again after the 2021, which is fresher and more refined than the 2022. The perception of sweetness is super-knit. Lots of botrytis, with turmeric, saffron, cream, roasted meringue, pine nuts, spices and dried mangoes. This is a powerful, seductive and lush wine. Ornamented and richer this year than 2021, but there is so much charm and harmony. Long and spicy, with a hint of petrol at the end. Wow. The second most concentrated Yquem after 1945, according to the winemaker. About 160 grams of residual sugar. So approachable now, but better in five or six years. It will live forever." - James Suckling "From a hot vintage, described by estate director Lorenzo Pasquini as a rollercoaster. Very extended harvest with grey rot threatening around 10 October but it all changed on 15 October when a south-east wind stopped the rot. By 18 October it was 34 °C, the highest-ever temperature for October in Sauternes. This concentrated the sugars which were the highest since 1945. There were just three picking passages through the vineyard when sometimes there are seven. They 'played with bitterness' to counteract the relatively low acidity. RS 160 g/l (the average is 135–150). it doesn't taste like a hot-vintage, super-sweet wine at all. So vibrant and lively! We were served this as an aperitif under the trees with a succession of canapés that appeared by magic to demonstrate Yquem's versatility: top-quality jamon and melon, kobe beef and caviar(!), melting foie gras and orangey squid. (These were all arguably better matches than the oysters served with this wine by Yannick Alléno at the dinner before Wine Paris, observes this completely spoilt diner.) (JR)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2022 Yquem is a blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc with 160 g/L residual sugar and a total acidity of 5.39 g/L. It is the first certified organic vintage for the estate and has the lowest level of total sulphur ever: 234 g/L, high within the sphere of wine but comparatively low for Sauternes. The 2022 was aged for 24 months in new barrels that underwent slightly less drying than those used for red wines in order to retain some green tannins. Given the growing season, the 2022 Yquem has a surprisingly understated bouquet that demands coaxing. Scents of orange pith, passion fruit and quince are exquisitely defined, a hint of chamomile dancing around in the background. The palate is medium-bodied. Given the high level of residual sugar, what is surprising is that the 2022 does not seem a weighty or texturally unctuous Yquem, yet there is an intensity and concentration that is arresting. Vivid flavours of clementine, wild honey, quince and tangerine that effortlessly combine. The acidity almost nonchalantly counters the sensation of residual sugar, so it feels less than it actually is, the scintilla of salinity toward the finish tempting you back for more. This is a marvellous and quite cerebral Yquem for which patience is required." - Vinous "Starts slowly, with a creamy and seductive feel to its mix of warmed peach, fresh mango, glazed Anjou pear and mirabelle plum flavors. As this moves along, flashes of singed almond and coconut appear before the finish kicks into another gear, offering green fig, white tea and sweetened butter notes. The entire thing just sails through without a single bob of its hull in an impressive marriage of power and precision. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Best from 2028 through 2050." - Wine Spectator |
