      Luxurious concentration and extraordinary precision define this legendary Sauternes from one of Bordeaux’s most revered estates. The 2022 Château d’Yquem is a remarkable expression of a warm and dry growing season, resulting in a wine of immense richness balanced by exceptional freshness and structure. Produced from a blend of predominantly Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc, the wine showcases the estate’s meticulous selection process, where only perfectly botrytised berries are harvested through multiple passes in the vineyard. The 2022 vintage is particularly significant as it marks the first certified organic release for Château d’Yquem, reflecting the estate’s continued commitment to sustainable viticulture without compromising quality or longevity.

      In the glass the wine is opulent yet remarkably poised, unfolding with layers of exotic fruit, marmalade, saffron and floral honey while maintaining remarkable clarity and lift. The palate possesses immense density and textural depth, yet vibrant acidity and a subtle saline edge prevent any sense of heaviness. Careful élevage in new French oak barrels enhances the wine’s complexity while preserving the purity and aromatic precision that define great Yquem. The 2022 vintage has been described by critics as one of the most concentrated in the estate’s history, yet it retains the harmony and elegance that make Château d’Yquem timeless. Its extraordinary balance suggests a wine capable of evolving for decades, gradually revealing deeper layers of spice, caramelised citrus and exotic complexity. This is a profound dessert wine equally suited to blue cheese, foie gras, fruit-based desserts or contemplative enjoyment on its own.

      Chateau d'Yquem 2022 375ml

      “A perfect Yquem again after the 2021, which is fresher and more refined than the 2022. The perception of sweetness is super-knit. Lots of botrytis, with turmeric, saffron, cream, roasted meringue, pine nuts, spices and dried mangoes. This is a powerful, seductive and lush wine. Ornamented and richer this year than 2021, but there is so much charm and harmony. Long and spicy, with a hint of petrol at the end. Wow.”

      — James Suckling, 100 points

      “Given the high level of residual sugar, what is surprising is that the 2022 does not seem a weighty or texturally unctuous Yquem, yet there is an intensity and concentration that is arresting. Vivid flavours of clementine, wild honey, quince and tangerine that effortlessly combine. The acidity almost nonchalantly counters the sensation of residual sugar, so it feels less than it actually is, the scintilla of salinity toward the finish tempting you back for more. This is a marvellous and quite cerebral Yquem for which patience is required.”

      — Neal Martin, Vinous, 98 points

      “A blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2022 d’Yquem is a strong candidate for the title of wine of the vintage. Exhibiting a remarkably delicate, complex and energetic bouquet of rose, confit citrus, exotic fruits and orange marmalade, it’s full-bodied, dense and deep with a pristine balance enhanced by a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and beautiful, gastronomic bitterness and dry extracts that segue to a long, ethereal, delicately perfumed and refined finish.”
