Chateau Yquem 2019 in half-bottle
Sauternes - Premier Cru Classé Supérieur
This 2019 vintage of Chateau Yquem just arrived on the site!
Has the 2019 harvest been favourable for Château d'Yquem?
A hot and dry year, including in September. Grapes that benefited from a beautiful concentration! (especially on the clay slopes).
The winegrowers waited for the botrytis. The morning mists did not live up to the expectations of the winegrowers but they point out that they have already harvested even later. The first beneficial rains came at the beginning of October, accompanied by ideal weather for the concentration of botrytis on the Sauvignon. The first picking and cleaning of the Sauvignons took place on October 7th: the first harvest was quite fruity and fresh (a bonus for the blending!). The botrytis arrived progressively, in conditions that were slightly lacking in the concentration of Château d'Yquem. The winemakers waited until October 11th to find a window and harvest until mid-afternoon before the heavy rains. The result: superb Semillon and Sauvignon grapes of superb quality!
