Chateau D'Yquem Sauternes 2019

Origin: Sauternes, France
Blend: 85% Sémillon, 15% Sauvignon Blanc

Producer's Notes:

After a cool and rainy spring, warm conditions prevailed all the way through to November 2019. In Sauternes in particular the down pour in late July removed the risk of drought and ensured that the development of the harvest was defined by the unique properties of the soils. The extremely tight window of favourable picking conditions, lasting just five days, obliged us to focus exclusively on the healthiest plots, with not a moment to spare for superfluous passes. Thanks to the wide variety of our soils, the experience and availability of our teams and our perfect knowledge of the terroir, offer a success as rare as it is remarkable.

Yquem 2019 is a perfect balance between freshness and concentration. The proportion of Sauvignon Blanc brings a floral element and a distinctive note of lemon verbena. This vintage is extremely seductive in its vibrant youth and will travel gracefully through time
