Description
The 2017 d'Yquem is simply stunning, evoking both a minty and fresh scent with aromas of apricot, baked pear, saffron, honeycomb and flowers. Full-bodied, rich and seamless, it is perfectly balanced with a beautiful bittersweet mid-palate and a long, endless finish with aromas of crème brûlée, salted butter caramel and vanilla pod. This blend of 75% Sémillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc contains 148 grams of residual sugar. The top among dessert wines and in an ideal size of half a bottle (0.375 liters).
Château d'Yquem
Château d'Yquem is one of the most famous wineries in the world, located in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France. It is known for its sublime sweet wines that are among the very best. Here are some key aspects of this prestigious winery:
History and Location
- History : Château d'Yquem has a long and rich history dating back to the 16th century. The castle was built in 1593 and has since been a leading producer of sweet wines. In 1855 it was the only winery in the Sauternes to be classified as Premier Cru Supérieur.
- Location : The winery is located in the heart of the Sauternes appellation, south of Bordeaux. The unique microclimate in this region is ideal for the production of noble sweet wines, with morning mists from the Ciron River encouraging the development of the noble rot, Botrytis cinerea.

This is a great Yquem, delivering thrilling purity and intensity. The nose offers intense aromas of fresh and dried apricot and peach pastry, as well as freshly baked creme brulee, candied and fresh orange and kumquat. Some marmalade, too. Smooth, glossy texture with flavors of grilled orange, dried apricot and an exceptionally long finish with a powerful, driving push to the end. A flicker of toasty-oak influence arrives late, but this wine has completely consumed the oak. The 2017 Yquem is a very powerful wine from a very rich and exceptional vintage. The acidity has a big hand in balancing the richness. Pithy finish. The phenolics deliver some great depth. Rain at the beginning of September prompted an extensive infection of noble rot. The harvest lasted from September 26 to October 13. Great quality and one of the best since the legendary 2001. Drink or hold.

From: Unrivalled/ Unequalled: Yquem 1921–2019 (Apr 2022)
The 2017 Yquem is destined to be one of my favourite recent vintages. It has brilliant delineation on the nose with acacia honey, saffron, white flowers and a subtle crushed stone element. So much energy is palpable. The palate is supremely well balanced, surfeit with energy, spicy and feisty and yet paradoxically beautifully controlled and pixelated towards the extended finish. It’s not unlike the brilliant 2014 in style. Tasted at the château.

From: The Future’s Not What It Was: Bordeaux 2018 (Nov 2019)
The 2017 Yquem was tasted instead of the 2018 since owners LVMH no longer show the wine en primeur. This vintage has just been released onto the market and so I have included it in this report. The estate suffered no frost damage in 2017 and a warm period between May and July, 3° Celsius above average meant the vines' growth cycle was a month in advance. Then, 65mm of rain between 1 and 16 September was the catalyst for botrytis formation. The fruit was picked in two dry and warm windows between 26 September and 14 October, during which concentration came easily so that the bunches achieved even levels of ripeness. The vineyard team selected the best parcels to pick at 21 degrees potential alcohol and in a draconian measure, the rest was sold, some 50% of the crop. Winemaker Sandrine Garbay described it as "A vintage of puissance and richness." It has a charming and very pure bouquet with dried honey, acacia, apricot blossom and touches of crushed stone that gradually unfurls in the glass. The palate is viscous on the entry, beautifully balanced with impressive weight and substance, though sans the multi-dimensional complexity of the very greatest vintages. Honey, hints of lemongrass, marmalade and quince combine on the extremely harmonious finish that lingers. This is a seriously good Yquem.
