Tasting Notes

96
The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 05 Mar 24
Pale straw-gold in color, the 2014 d'Yquem is a little subdued to start off, unfurling to reveal notes of candied orange peel, baked peaches, and beeswax plus touches of dried persimmon and mango. The palate delivers delightfully bright layers and a crisp backbone, finishing with great length and depth.

Vinous Neal Martin - 19 Mar 24
The 2014 Yquem has a potent nose with yellow plum, tangerine, peach and honey, exuberant and with plenty of botrytis. There is a real presence in this wine. The palate is well balanced with an unctuous entry and a keen thread of acidity, effervescent with blood orange, white peaches and pineapple toward the finish. Very persistent in the mouth, this is clearly an excellent Sauternes that constantly improves in the glass. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Yohan Castaing - 31 Oct 23
The 2014 d'Yquem is showing very well today, offering a fruity, fresh bouquet that reveals an abundance of peaches, apricots and honey, overlaid by nuances of curry, fennel and spices. Precise and delicate, it’s perfectly balanced and moderately weighted, with bright acids and a racy "liqueur" note, concluding in a tense, fresh, penetrating finish. Residual sugar: 146 grams per liter.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2050

Tasted blind. Mid gold. Deep apricot aroma. Chewy, very sweet and a bit sweet-sour on the finish. Intense, and the sweetness is balanced by the flavour of bitter orange that helps with the balance. Great concentration and length. (JH)

Sauternes Fine Wine

Sauternes

Sauternes, a renowned Bordeaux appellation in the Graves region, is famous for its luxurious sweet white wines made from Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). This fungus concentrates sugars, creating wines with rich sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity. Sauternes wines feature complex aromas and flavours of apricot, honey, peach, citrus, and vanilla, with excellent ageing potential. Top producers include Château d'Yquem, Château Rieussec, Château Suduiraut, and Château Coutet.
