95 /100 points

The 2021 Y d'Yquem is a blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Sémillon, possessing 7.2 grams per liter of residual sugar. Strait-laced notes of struck flint and wet slate on the nose give way to a delicate core of lime blossoms and lemonade with hints of aniseed and grapefruit. The medium to full-bodied palate reveals a racy backbone and intense citrusy flavors with a compelling oiliness to the texture, finishing with a minerally lift. This should evolve beautifully over the next 15+ years.

About this wine

Château d'Yquem

Château d'Yquem is a famous wine producer located in the Bordeaux region of France. It is particularly known for its Sauternes wine, considered one of the world's finest dessert wines. The producer can be traced back to the 17th century, when the Lur-Saluces family played a decisive role in establishing it as a prestigious wine producer. In 1999, the Lur-Saluces family sold Château d'Yquem to the French luxury giant LVMH (Louis Vuitton Möet Hennessy), underscoring the estate's status as a luxury producer.
