20 Rene Gabriel
Mittleres Gelb, lindengrüne Nuancen darin, leuchtend. Noch selten gab es bei einer Fassprobe Yquem eine derartige Frische, duftet im ersten Ansatz wie ein pfeffriger Barsac, schöne Agrumennoten, frisch gekochte gelbe Aprikosen und Mirabellen, wird dabei immer dichter und süsser und bündelt sich. Im Gaumen sublim, komplex und trotz des wuchtigen, schon fast öligen Klörpers bleibt der Wein irgendiwe doch tänzerisch, im Finale Reineclauden, gelbe Pflaumen, Akazienhonig und eine Affinität im mit Pink-Grapefruit und Dörrparkosen schmeckenden Finale fast an etwas an einen Late-Harvest-Viognier erinnert. Beim 2001er lag der Restzuckergehalt bei 150 bei diesem 2009er bei 155 Gramm. Seit 1893 ist das mengenmässig die grösste Ernte auf Yquem. Es werden ganze 160'000 Flaschen von diesem göttlichen Nektar in Flaschen gefüllt. Degustiert auf Cheval-Blanc. Nicht in der Halle bei der in der offiziellen Degustationwoche mehr als 1'500 an den Fassmuster der dargebotenen Rotweine schlürften, sondern im Château am Salontisch. Also ein Privileg das bedeutend weniger Degustatoren vorbehalten ist. warten (2020 - 2080)

In comparison to the 2010 vintage, the 2009 d'Yquem is more concentrated with a stunning "rôti," the consequence of noble rot in French. Developing a powerful, complex bouquet with aromas of pineapple, apricot, saffron, flowers, spices and orchard fruits, it’s dense and concentrated, full-bodied and layered with a crystalline texture complicated by notes of white truffles that reveal a racy, endless and a superb finish concluding with a pristine harmony. Readers with bottles in their cellars will have to be patient before opening this masterpiece with 155 grams of residual sugar. 2023 - 2080

Dense and unctuous, but with lacy detail already showing along the edges, as light toasty hazelnut and piecrust notes lead the way for creamed melon, mango and pineapple flavors, with hints of green plum and honeysuckle. There's mouthwatering drive on the finish, which drips with a rosehip honey note that keeps pulling you back. Stunning. Best from 2020 through 2055. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 10,000 cases made. –JM
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.
