Description

Château d'Yquem 2001  

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé 

u. 12bn


Pierre Lurton did the blending for this vintage - and what a beginning. In 2025, it is just so lemony on the nose, an amazing explosion of lemon curd aromas and flavours.  Extraordinary creamy brilliance - like a diamond.  Unbelievably pure and 'magnetic'. Stunningly fresh and immediate.  Seamless silky opulence with perfect acidity and balance.  Yes, I admit the obvious - I simply adore this.  Serena Sutcliffe, MW
