2007 Château d'Yquem, 1er Grand Cru Classé Sauternes

2007 Château d'Yquem, 1er Grand Cru Classé Sauternes

2007 is an excellent Sauternes vintage and Chateau d ’Yquem has made a wonderful wine. Only 55% of the crop was utilised from the 6 tries or staged pickings throughout the vineyards.The nose already offers up a very spicy botrytis - infused aroma with some floral notes.The palate is very rich and powerful yet not at all clumsy. Great extract with a pronounced streak of acidity.Very clean - lively yet focused. The palate exudes ripe exotic fruits with mango and pineapple to the fore but with apricot and marmalade nuances. Long and persistent. The finest d'Yquem since 2001?
