Tasting Notes
Vinous 91
The 2022 Y de Yquem was confusing because, whilst it was included in the flight of dry Sauternes, as this cuvée is billed, it was clear there was some residual sugar. As such, it works well, with a lovely yellow flower-scented bouquet and touches of linseed in the background. The palate has a touch of viscosity, a little Alsace-like, with a gentle, almost soothing finish. It coheres very well in the glass. Very fine. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2040
