Château d'Yquem

Château d'Yquem 2007 Sauternes, 1er Cru Supérieur Classé 12 x 375ml Half-Bottles

Sadly, we didn't get to taste the 2007 Yquem, but given the plaudits being poured upon this wine by pretty much everyone who has we have absolutely no hesitation in offering it en primeur!

"Deep golden with an orange tinge. Very tangy. And thick. At the same time. Massive weight! Extraordinary fullness. An edge of something a bit corrective - almost bitter. Very big and hits you between eyeballs. Citrus pith. Needs to settle down and become more gentle. Big and round. Almost over the top. So rich!!!!! But definite bitterness on the finish. Winemaker Sandrine Garbay, who has been there an incredible 14 years, thinks the 2001 has more finesse. I agree. 19 points (out of 20)."

"This is amazing. Full of spicy botrytis character, with smoke and piecrust underneath. Full and rich, yet not cloying or too dense. It's lively and long, finishing with intensity and powerl. A unnerving combination of wild ripe fruit and intense botrytis, with lively acidity. Really powerful. Should be a perfect wine 97-100 points."
