Château d'Yquem | Sauternes

The greatest sweet wine in the world is made by the masterful team at Ch d'Yquem, the jewel in Sauternes crown. Following the impressively concentrated 2022 release last year and the lithe, fresh 2021 vintage the year before, the 2023 encapsulates a beautiful marriage of these two styles. The sugar levels sit between the two vintages, and the result is a wine of such intricate, finely tuned balance.

When we tasted Ch Yquem 2023 at the Goedhuis Waddesdon office last month with Head Winemaker Lorenzo Pasquini, it took our breath away. We loved the delicacy and elegance of this brilliant wine and are not alone in our praise, as it has already received three perfect 100-point scores.
