Yquem 2009 is a blend primarily of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, cultivated in the Sauternes region of Bordeaux. Château d`Yquem has a storied history dating back to the 16th century and is classified as a Premier Cru Supérieur. The vineyard`s unique microclimate, characterised by morning mists and sunny afternoons, encourages the development of noble rot, essential for producing this extraordinary sweet wine. The 2009 vintage showcases a complex structure, with aromas of apricot, honey, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it reveals rich layers of fruit alongside a balancing acidity.

A blend of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, with 155 grams per liter of residual sugar, the 2009 Yquem has a pale to medium straw-gold color. It waltzes out with gregarious notions of key lime pie, orange blossoms, and juicy white peaches, followed by suggestions of ginger ale, wet pebbles, and allspice. The big, concentrated, decadently rich palate is fantastically balanced, with a laser-precise line of freshness cutting through the tightly wound layers, finishing very long, with loads of citrusy sparks.Lisa Perrotti-Brown4th September 2023

The 2009 d'Yquem is a vintage that I have awarded perfect scores to in the past however, neither bottles merit that on this occasion. The first bottle feels scalped, so much so that a second bottle is checked. This has a very refined and sophisticated bouquet with wild honey, brioche, vanilla pod and light orange blossom aromas, beautifully refined. The palate is very well defined with fine acidity, very elegant in style with pure botrytised fruit and superb acidity on the finish. Ah...that is more like it. However, on this occasion it does not quite hit the high notes. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin1st March 2019
