Chateau d'Yquem sur Saluces, Sauternes 0,375ltr
Château d'Yquem is one of the most sought-after and most famous wines in the world. In the classification of 1855, Château d'Yquem is the only one to receive the status of Premier Cru Supérieur, because of its exceptional quality. The phonetic translation of 'Yquem' in Mandarin is 'a drop of gold'. We could not describe the wines of Yquem better.
98/100 Robert Parker;
“The Château Yquem 2014 was picked over 9 weeks this year, with one-quarter of the grapes picked prior to September 15. It delivers 134 grams per liter of residual sugar and 7.3 grams per liter of tartaric acid, with a pH 3.60. It has a captivating bouquet (I know…I know…what else were you expecting) But 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. Occasionally an Yquem only reveals its components parts at this early junction, necessitates conjecture. However the 2014 has a sense of harmony and completeness already, as if the élevage is merely there to usher it on to its finished state. 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. It's not quite up there in the rarefied heights of say, the 2001 or 2009, but it is what we call in the trade, “the business.”” – Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
