Punteggi dei critici
100 James Suckling
Dreamy, subtle aromas of dried fruit such as apricots and mangoes, but also fresh lemons and pears. Then there are caramel and tart tatin undertones with some bananas, pineapple, tangerines and other tropical fruit. Full-bodied, yet it remains vivid and compact, giving it a lightness even though it is really structured. The tannins are throughout the palate but blend in perfectly, giving it a solid presence, like a a diamond. It’s tight at the end, but you know that it will linger for ages, with a lightly chewy and intellectual finish. Touches of sweetness, cloves and bitterness to make it interesting. Dynamic. About 54,000 bottles made. Relatively small harvest. 148 g/L residual sugar.

The 2021 d'Yquem exhibits a complex bouquet of rose, exotic fruits and mandarin orange mingled with spring flowers, rose and crème brûlée, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless palate that's suave and layered, with a deep core and a long finish that's lent definition by delicate bitterness that offsets the 148 grams per liter residual sugar. This blend of 65% Sémillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc was matured, as usual, in all new barrels, but the new oak is perfectly integrated and barely noticeable.

Produttore
Château d'Yquem
Situato a 55 chilometri a sud della città di Bordeaux, l'affascinante Château d'Yquem risale a 400 anni fa e ha una vista mozzafiato sulla valle di Sauternes. Questa celebre tenuta è riconosciuta in tutto il mondo come uno dei più grandi produttori di vino dolce di Francia. Dopo oltre due secoli, la famiglia Lur Saluces ha venduto la proprietà a LVMH nel 1999. I vigneti soleggiati, che coprono oltre 100 ettari, godono della fresca nebbia mattutina e sono vendemmiati con estrema precisione, acino dopo acino. Imbottigliati senza filtrazione, i vini trascorrono oltre tre anni in botti di rovere nuove. Il vinificatore Pierre Lurton, ex direttore di Château Cheval Blanc, controlla la vinificazione della tenuta dal 2004. Senza confronti per la combinazione di grazia, potenza e bravura femminile, i vini d'Yquem difendono facilmente il loro status di Premier Cru Supérieur. Con una produzione impressionante, i vini rimangono al vertice e la loro suprema qualità culmina nel Grand Vin, Yquem.
