Variant

Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

The nose opens with electrifying notes of ripe pineapple, green mango, orange blossom and lemon tart with hints of mushroom, lime zest, crushed stones and jasmine. The freshness on the palate is simply amazing, piercing and uplifting, layer upon layer of tropical fruit and earthy hints all wrapped in a luscious texture, culminating in a very, very long, mineral finish. This is a legendary vintage for d'Yquem.

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.
