Description
Château d'Yquem makes the best Sauternes. Volume 2020 is the youngest volume that is now on the market (2023). The 2020 blend consists of 75% Sémillon and 25% Sauvignon. The grapes were picked between September 14 and October 29, in five different tours of the vineyard. The harvest was the smallest ever for the château and is 30% smaller than the 2019 harvest. Yields were only 10 hl/ha. This wine has elegance and finesse of an unprecedented quality. Château d'Yquem 2020 shows a seductive nose with floral notes such as lime blossom and wild roses, mixed with fruity aromas of prickly pear, mirabelle plum and fresh apricot. Freshness and sunny aromas, reminiscent of orange marmalade and mandarin, are perfectly balanced on the palate. The long, delicious finish is tinged with an elegant, spicy bitterness.
The wine is individually packaged in a beautiful wooden box (OWC)

Château d'Yquem
Sauternes 2020
This has a broad and unctuous feel, with nectarine, apricot and mango notes leading the way and creating an opulent feel, though there are also racy bitter almond, orange blossom and elderberry accents for contrast and range. The lush finish is carried by mango and pie crust. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Best from 2028 through 2040.

97/100
Falstaff : 97/100 : “Bright medium greenish yellow, silver reflections. Attractive ripe yellow tropical fruit, honey and lanolin, some coconut, candied tangerine zest, floral touch, fine caramel in the background. Full-bodied, elegant, ripe pineapple, yellow peach, new wood vivid in the core, fine honey nuances, seems opulent on the finish, marked by some baby fat, powerful finish, certain ageing potential”.
