2022 Chateau d’Yquem - Bordeaux, Sauternes 1er Grand Cru Classé - 1 Imperial (6.0L)

Bought en primeur First owner, never moved Perfect conditions A perfect Yquem again after the 2021, which is fresher and more refined than the 2022. The perception of sweetness is super-knit. Lots of botrytis, with turmeric, saffron, cream, roasted meringue, pine nuts, spices and dried mangoes. This is a powerful, seductive and lush wine. Ornamented and richer this year than 2021, but there is so much charm and harmony. Long and spicy, with a hint of petrol at the end. Wow. The second most concentrated Yquem after 1945, according to the winemaker. About 160 grams of residual sugar. So approachable now, but better in five or six years. It will live forever. Extra charges and ancillary fees (for import shipments) may be applied if the shipment to countries oustide the EU. We do not ship to the UK
