The sweet and dessert wine Château d'Yquem, vintage 2011 from the winery Château d'Yquem has been rated in 2022 by Peter Moser with 98 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon from the region Sauternes in France.
Medium greenish yellow in colour with golden reflections. On the nose, fine nuances of lanolin, pineapple and fresh peach, light caramel, a touch of juicy apricot and hint of fine oak. The full-bodied palate is elegant, with perfectly integrated fruit expression redolent of ripe yellow tropical fruit, mineral, underpinned by fine acidity, perfectly balanced, has youthfulness, length, and enormous ageing potential. A prime example of the new, even more precise style at Yquem, which dispenses with every little beauty spot.
