Description
Château d'Yquem 2003
Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé
Lot 1216: Excellent levels and appearance, Lot 1217: Slightly scuffed labels
This is an atypical year, with its excessive heat and high temperatures, but it is a triumph for Pierre Lurton who came to Yquem after the harvest which was, very unusually, effected in one single 'trie', or picking. Brilliant selection in the vineyard and blending have produced an amazing orange honey nose, mixed with acacia. Stunning balance and elegance, which is a feat in a year of climatic extremes. Enormous length on the palate. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
