Château d'Yquem

Two thousand years of history on a sacred land

An exceptional vintage, the fruit of a generous nature

Vintage 2022

The 2023 vintage crowns three consecutive years of excellence, forming the first great trilogy of the 21st century. After the finesse of 2021 and the sun-driven power of 2022, 2023 captivates with its remarkable balance and aromatic precision.

On the nose, it reveals a beautiful purity with notes of citrus, rhubarb and beeswax. On the palate, the silky attack unveils hints of mandarin and apricot, supported by a structuring freshness and a velvety finish — already approachable yet endowed with immense ageing potential.

This vintage has also received five perfect 100/100 scores from international critics (James Suckling, Jane Anson, Adrian Van Velsen, Wine Advocate and Yves Beck), confirming its status as a benchmark among lovers of great wines.

Château d’Yquem, a true jewel of the Sauternes appellation, has embodied the excellence of great sweet wines for centuries. Its winemaking relies on ancestral expertise, combining technical precision with a deep respect for the terroir. Each vintage is born from a succession of meticulous steps: gentle pressing followed by a long ageing period of 24 to 26 months in new French oak barrels, carefully selected to reveal the wine’s aromatic richness.

Rarity is an integral part of Yquem’s signature: even in the most favourable years, each vine yields only a single glass of this precious nectar. Endowed with characteristic opulence, remarkable complexity and incomparable length on the palate, Yquem can be enjoyed even in its youth. When kept under optimal conditions, it gradually reveals over the decades nuances of exceptional depth, bearing witness to its legendary longevity.
