97 Points - Decanter

The 2019 Château d'Yquem contains the highest proportion of Sauvignon Blanc (45%) in the estate's modern history, bringing exceptional freshness to balance its luscious sweetness and richness. Vibrant flavors of peach, apricot, lemon and orange zest make it surprisingly approachable in its youth, though it promises even greater complexity after a decade or more of cellaring. Produced from a challenging vintage with a short harvest window, it is expected to age beautifully.
