About This Wine

Château d'Yquem 2023 stands as a tour de force in the modern history of Sauternes, capturing an extraordinary synergy of early, rapid botrytis, monumental concentration, and crystalline freshness.

Renowned critic James Suckling awarded the 2023 vintage a perfect 100-point score, celebrating it on his global stage as the No. 3 wine in the world. In his review, Suckling lauded its breathtaking precision and vitality, noting:

“Perfect aromas carry through to every milliliter of this wine, showing intense orange peel, honey, butterscotch, saffron, smoke and peat, with hints of coffee and dried apples. Full-bodied but weightless and silky, with an excellent balance of fruit, sweetness and spices. Some peanut brittle, dried oranges and lemons at the end. I can't get over how wonderful this is now, but it can age forever.”

On the palate, this blend of 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc carries approximately 154 grams per liter of residual sugar, framed by vivid acidity that renders the wine ethereal and agile rather than heavy. Layered notes of candied citrus, wild honey, exotic spice, and crushed stone unfold seamlessly toward an endless, resonant finish. While deeply seductive and expressive in its youth, the 2023 Château d'Yquem possesses the structural architecture to evolve effortlessly for over half a century.
