Neal Martin for Robert Parker

The bouquet is honeyed and rich, with subtle aromas of peach skin, white flowers and hints of chalk and frangipane. On the palate the wine is viscous, the texture coating the mouth with luscious, botrytised fruit. There are notes of Seville orange marmalade, fresh apricot, hints of spice and passion fruit. This is a Yquem with impressive depth and power.

winery

Château d'Yquem is the only winery with the top classification Premier Cru Supérieur in Sauternes. For centuries, the noble sweet wine has been a legend and is now one of the most sought-after wines in the world. The history of Château d'Yque is marked by over 400 years of viticulture. In the Middle Ages, the estate belonged to the English king, but since 1453 the château has been back in French hands. Today, the winery benefits from the special soils, the ancient vines and the special microclimate. Château d'Yquim stands for uncompromising quality standards. A meticulous selection of the best grapes in the vineyard is followed by a rigorous selection of the best barrels in the cellar. A vine produces just enough must for a glass of wine. In addition to the 2015 vintage, Parker rated only the 1945 vintage and the 2009 vintage with 100 points.
