Château d`Yquem 2011 is a noble sweet wine from the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux. Château d`Yquem is the sole Premier Cru Supérieur and is almost universally regarded as the world`s greatest sweet wine. This bottling presents a complex bouquet of dried apricot, mango and honey, with nuances of saffron and toasted nuts. The palate is rich and unctuous yet balanced by a vibrant acidity that gives it a racy and fresh character. The large-format bottle will allow the wine to age gracefully for many decades, showcasing its exceptional pedigree.
95 Vinous
The 2011 Château d'Yquem has a powerful and well defined bouquet, very pure with honey, barley sugar and quince. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that cuts through the concentrated botrytised fruit. Very persistent and quite rich on the finish, this is decadent and rather gorgeous. Long-term. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.Neal Martin1st April 2022
95 The Wine Independent
A blend of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, with 141 grams per liter of residual sugar, the 2011 Yquem, is pale to medium straw-gold in color. It needs a little coaxing to bring out notes of lemon tart, lime blossoms, chalk dust, and jasmine, leading to hints of shaved ginger and yuzu zest. The palate shimmers with intense citrus and mineral layers, framed by a racy backbone and a gorgeous satiny texture, finishing on a lingering ginger tea note.Lisa Perrotti-Brown4th September 2023
