What to Expect

The great sweet wines of Bordeaux, Sauternes, are among the most decadent, complex and simply enjoyable wines. Based on a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc that has been infected with the "noble rot", Botrytis Cinerea, Sauternes are rich, honied wines bursting with notes of vanilla, coconut, dried apricots and subtle spice tones. They are usually very sweet and rich with a soft quality to them that makes them appealing in their youth yet they can age and improve for decades. The neighboring village of Barsac frequently makes wines comparable to those of Sauternes.

Winemakers Notes

According to the team at d'Yquem, the 2007 vintage reminded them of acombination of 1997, the legendary 1967 and the stylish 1988. The bouquet isalready wonderful - like lying on the grass on a warm spring day with all thetrees in blossom. The wealth of flavour on the palate is seamless andcompletely mouthfilling without yet showing the glorious detail to come, whilethe finish is sensationally long. This has lived up to every expectation in2007 and will surely be considered, along with the peerless 2001, as one of thetruly great d'Yquems of all time.

"This is amazing. Full of spicy botrytis character, with smoke and piecrust underneath. Full and rich, yet not cloying or too dense. It's lively and long, finishing with intensity and powerl. A unnerving combination of wild ripe fruit and intense botrytis, with lively acidity. Really powerful. Should be a perfect wine. Score range: 97-100" -JS WS 03/08.

RP: A sample blend excluding the 7th passage (80% of the blending). The Yquem '07 was cropped at 18hl ha, reportedly similar to the 1967 in the middle of the harvest and 188 towards the later picking. This has a very concentrated nose although it is less showy at the moment. But there is tremendous power here, touches of marmalade, honey, peach and orange zest. Superb delineation. The palate is striking but its sense of urgency and nervosit�, real vibrancy in the mouth even at this early stage. Pure clear honey, a touch of spice, orange cut marmalade and supreme focus on the almost Zen-like read more...

David Peppercorn MW review: Very aromatic and unctuous with a lovely point of freshness coming through atthe end. On the palate there is a great concentration and richness (130gresidual sugar in this sample). Very unctuous yet complex and fresh. A touch ofalcohol shows through on the finish but these are early days and this is only amarker for the finished article. This will be one of the great Yquem vintages,though on the day Climens was even more impressive.
