Château d'Yquem 2014

2014 premier cru supérieur from Sauternes

The famous Chateau d'Yquem is located on the Sauternes terroir and stretches over a 113 hectares vineyard that grows on an incredible soil variety, resulting in a complex wine. 

"The 2014 Château d'Yquem has a captivating bouquet... It entrances with its pure, wild honey notes mixed with almond and white chocolate scents, bestowed with beguiling delineation and focus. The palate is very poised with the acidity nigh on perfect. There is undeniably great depth here, perhaps less conspicuous than other vintages because of that silver thread of acidity: notes of lemon sherbet, orange zest, shaved ginger and again, a few ‘flakes’ of white chocolate. It is extremely long with tenderness rather than power on the finish."
