The sweet and dessert wine Château d'Yquem, vintage 2007 from the winery Château d'Yquem has been rated in 2022 by Robin Lee with 98 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc from the region Sauternes in France.
Deep gold, with an intense Botrytis nose of saffron and dried apricot. The satiny damask texture is sensuous and extravagant in its sheer volume. Long and intense flavour that continues to develop. Quince tart, roasted walnuts, notes of cinnamon, star anise and spicy white radish. There is a bitter phenolic on the finish, very pronounced, which, for me, is the marker of Yquem. RL
