Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes 2022 375ml

The world's most iconic Sauternes and Bordeaux's only Premier Cru Supérieur, Château d'Yquem reveals extraordinary aromas of apricot, peach, pineapple, candied orange peel, honey, saffron, vanilla, acacia blossom, and toasted almond. Lusciously rich yet impeccably balanced, it delivers vibrant acidity, immense complexity, and an extraordinarily long, legendary finish with exceptional aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with foie gras, Roquefort, blue cheese, crème brûlée, fruit tarts, roasted peaches, apricot desserts, or enjoy on its own.

The 2022 Château d'Yquem is another perfect expression from the estate, following the acclaimed 2021. Richer and more opulent in style, it seamlessly integrates its sweetness with extraordinary precision. Layers of botrytis-driven aromas unfold with turmeric, saffron, cream, roasted meringue, pine nuts, exotic spices and dried mango. Powerful yet harmonious, it finishes with remarkable length, spice and a subtle hint of petrol. With approximately 160 g/L of residual sugar—the second-highest concentration since the legendary 1945 vintage—it is already approachable but will reward at least five to six years of cellaring and has virtually limitless aging potential.

98 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2022 Château d'Yquem is a compelling candidate for wine of the vintage. Delicate yet intensely complex, it reveals aromas of rose, confit citrus, exotic fruits and orange marmalade. Full-bodied, dense and beautifully layered, it combines a fleshy core of fruit with vibrant acidity, refined bitterness and remarkable dry extract, culminating in a long, ethereal and elegantly perfumed finish. With 160 grams per liter of residual sugar, it represents the estate's second-richest vintage since 1945 while maintaining extraordinary balance and freshness.

97 Points - Wine Spectator

Elegant and powerful, the 2022 Château d'Yquem opens with creamy flavors of warmed peach, fresh mango, glazed Anjou pear and mirabelle plum. As it develops, notes of toasted almond and coconut give way to green fig, white tea and sweet butter, all carried by exceptional balance and refinement. A masterful combination of richness and precision, crafted from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Best from 2028 through 2050.
