19 Rene Gabriel

Relativ hell, brillantes Gelb. Frisches, direktes Bouquet, Pimpernellen, helle Aprikosen, Akazienhonig, delikate, parfümierte Süsse mit einem zart pfeffrigen Botrytistouch. Saftiger, sehr eleganter noch frisch-fruchtiger Gaumen, seidige Textur, helle Mirabellen, bleibt rassig bis zum langen, fast quirligen Fluss. Noch nie war ein Yquem so jung schon sooooooooo gut! (19/20). 12: In Luxemburg bei einem langweiligen Diner war es der süsse Höhepunkt. Herrlich zu trinken und noch sehr erschwinglich. trinken ( - 2060)

96 Wine Spectator

Beautiful apple, vanilla and honey aromas, with just the right amount of new wood. Full-bodied, medium sweet, with lots of pretty pineapple and honey. Long and refined. A beautifully silky and balanced Sauternes. Lots of intensity and well-knit. Unrivaled in this vintage. Best after 2009. 6,500 cases made. ?JS

Served from an ex-chateau bottle. The 2002 Chateau d’Yquem has a delightful bouquet with scents of dried honey, marzipan and melted candle wax. It is not the most complex, but it has very good definition. The palate has a controlled, linear opening with fine acidity and a tightly wound spicy core. This 2002 has a slight bitter edge which lends it race and tension. However, there is a touch of austerity here, as if it is holding something back. You might describe this as a serviceable Yquem: everything in its right place, but refusing to let go. This is aYquem sans the ambition of other vintages and yet delicious all the same. Drink now-2035. Tasted March 2014.

Producer

Château d'Yquem

Located 55 kilometers south of the town of Bordeaux, the charming 400-year-old Château d'Yquem has a breathtaking view of the Sauternes valley. This notorious estate is recognized around the world as one of the greatest sweet wine producers in France. After over two centuries of ownership, the Lur Saluces family sold the property to LVMH in 1999. The sunbathed vineyards, covering over 100-hectares enjoy refreshing morning mists, and are precisely harvested berry by berry. Bottled without filtration, the wines spend over three years in new-oak barrels. Vintner Pierre Lurton, the former director of Château Cheval Blanc has looked over the house vinification since 2004. Unrivaled for its combination of lace, power and feminine prowess, d’Yquem wines easily defend their Premier Cru Supérieur status. With an impressive production, the wines remain at the top, their supreme quality is culminated by the Grand Vin, Yquem.
