16 Rene Gabriel
99: Mittleres Gelb. Offenes, leicht malziges Bouquet; gekochte Pfirsiche, Honig, Pertinax, wenig Botrytis, pflanzliche Beinote. Im Gaumen welke Blätter, eine eher plumpe Süsse; wiederum Malz, mittlere Länge. Ein ganz und gar durchschnittlicher Sauternes zu einem nicht ganz durchschnittlichen Preis. Finger weg und kleinere Sauternes aus einem sehr guten Jahr kaufen. trinken ( - 2020)

Rather weak for Yquem. Light gold color. Lemon tea, almond and honey character. Medium-bodied, medium sweet, with some spicy flavors and an herbal, sorbetlike finish. Drink now. ?JS

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.
