Château d'Yquem Sauternes is the world's most celebrated sweet wine, renowned for extraordinary richness, purity, and longevity. Aromas of apricot, honey, pineapple, orange marmalade, saffron, vanilla, and toasted almonds unfold into a luscious palate balanced by vibrant acidity and an incredibly persistent finish.
Food Pairing: Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tarts, crème brûlée, roasted peaches, or enjoy on its own as a luxurious dessert wine.
100 Points - James Suckling
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. 154 g/L residual sugar. Drink or hold.
100 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
With 153 grams per liter of residual sugar—placing it among the 10 most concentrated vintages in the château’s history—the 2023 Château d'Yquem ranks among the finest wines bottled here under Lorenzo Pasquini’s direction. It unfurls from the glass with a complex, vibrant and remarkably pure bouquet of pineapple, guava, mango, confit citrus, beeswax and spices. Full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it combines formidable depth with perfectly judged control, built around a fleshy core of fruit, framed by lively acidity and a crystalline texture and culminating in an endless, refined and ethereal finish. Yquem’s natural power is here masterfully harnessed by the vintage’s freshness and tension, revealing an aesthetic of precision and vibrancy encountered only in the estate’s greatest years—made all the more remarkable by the fact that the château now achieves even higher levels of concentration than a decade ago, without any perceptible increase in sweetness on the palate.
