Tasting Notes

Vinous 92

The 2016 Y de Yquem, a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon, is still quite youthful in colour. It has a compelling bouquet of linden, chamomile and artichoke, all delivered with fine delineation. The saline palate derives tension from a lemon rind note that keeps it on its toes. There is real verticality to this Y de Yquem – lovely. Tasted at L’Abeille restaurant in New York. [Neal Martin, 31/05/2026]

Anticipated maturity: 2026-2038

Robert Parker 98

Containing 135 grams per liter of residual sugar, the pale lemon-gold colored 2016 d’Yquem leaps from the glass with honeyed apricots, pineapple, green mango, crushed rocks, candied ginger, coriander seed and citrus peel with hints of orange blossom. The palate is very tightly wound, vibrant and refreshing with layer upon layer of minerals and spices, finishing with epic poise and persistence. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 01/03/2019]

Anticipated maturity: 2024-2064
