Château d’Yquem is a Premier Cru Supérieur Classé property in Sauternes, Bordeaux, and is widely regarded as the greatest producer of sweet wine in the region, perhaps even the world. It is a blend of botrytised Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc that is painstakingly hand-harvested, berry by berry, and is matured for 42 months in new French oak. The 2000 vintage was tough for Sauternes but this offers an excellent early maturing option, with crisply defined fruits, subtle savoury complexity and delicate freshness all the way through the long, mineral-laced finish.
89 Vinous
The 2000 Yquem is crisp and well-defined aromatically, though not complex as expected from a truly challenging growing season in Sauternes. It is pleasant with innocuous, delicate scents of tangerine and Mirabelle. The palate is clean and balanced with marmalade-tinged opening, racy acidity with an attenuated finish. Tasted at the château.
