2022 Château d'Yquem, Sauternes

2022 Château d'Yquem, Sauternes

The 2022 Yquem is a powerful, intense wine. A blend of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon, this is the first vintage bearing organic certification. There is such a fine interplay of sweetness and bitterness here, freshness and generosity. It opens with aromas of grilled pineapple, chamomile, and tangerine peel. There of flickers of confit citrus fruit and caramalised ginger too. Seductive and powerful this draws you in. In terms of numbers, at 160g/l of sugar this is the most concentrated in respect of sugar content after the 1945 yet the wine wears this so well with a real sense of energy and vibrancy running through the core. There is not much more to add besides this is a stunning Yquem that will repay careful cellaring.
