The sweet and dessert wine Château d'Yquem, vintage 2017 from the winery Château d'Yquem has been rated in 2022 by Robin Lee with 95 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc from the region Sauternes in France.
Golden in colour, with a heady aroma of orchard fruits and citrus -- pomelo, grapefruit and tangerine. Dried apricots and orange marmalade are a mark of intense Botrytis. RL
More about the tastingVery fine, nuanced botrytis on the nose with notes of nuts, nectarine and terroir. Noble. A lot of finesse on the palate, silky and tender, but with immense firmness, sublimely textured, pronounced sweetness supported by delicate acidity and penetrating minerality, all closely intertwined with the minerality underscoring things right through the finish. Very fine with lots of inner tension, delicacy and grip. Immensely precise.
