Heiner Lobenberg om:
Y de Chateau d' Yquem 2021

100
/100

2021 var året for tørre hvidvine fra Bordeaux. I år kan de hvide trække på det fulde potentiale. Selvfølgelig er primus inter pares i front. Y er den bedste tørre hvidvin fra Sauternes, år efter år. Og i 2021 kommer den i glasset med endnu mere elegance. Høstet med den første botrytis giver den igen stor fylde. Mandariner, kvæder og bergamot svæver i næsen. Smagen afslører varme aromaer af fersken og abrikos, som derefter går over i en fin citrusfase. Fine salte noter og bitre smage af fyrretræ og solsikkekerner dukker op til sidst. Y er fyldig, kompleks og meget koncentreret, men frem for alt imponerer den med en mere delikat, drikkelig lethed sammenlignet med tidligere år. Helt perfekt.

Jane Anson om: Y de Chateau d' Yquem

A great example of this always-arresting dry white, with a ton of soft apple blossom aromatics, before drawing inwards to show scraping acidity, powerful white peach, quince, apricot and citrus flavours with a twist of lime juice, fennel and a salty tang of oyster shell and salted crackers. Has the richness, complexity and concentration that you find in Yquem, and although it won't have quite the same longevity, there is no issue with keeping this wine for 15 to 20 years. 7g/l of residual sugar, mainly from the Sémillon that is picked with the first bloom of botrytis, bringing an opulent, voluptuous feel that transmits the DNA of the property. Spends 12 months in 80% one year old barrels previously used for Château d'Yquem (of course fully washed and prepared, but still imparting a blush of rich flavour), together with 20% new oak. The 2021 vintage in Bordeaux was a better year for whites than reds, and this exceptional white wine is a great example. Last vintage with Sandrine Garbay as winemaker, leaving in 2022. 98/100

Suckling om: Y de Chateau d' Yquem

Lime and spicy pear with crushed stone. Kumquats. Smoke and iron. Kiwi. Full and rounded with bitter pear and steel. Dried limes. Unique minerality. Bright acidity. Touch of sweetness at the end that makes it fascinating. 65% sauvignon blanc and 35% semillon. September release. Drink or hold. 97/100

Galloni om: Y de Chateau d' Yquem

The 2021 Yquem was tasted in Amsterdam, the first wine poured at a lunch, thereby allowing me a longer period to examine it. Slightly burnished in hue, it has a very attractive bouquet with scents of dried quince, clementine, linseed and subtle candle wax, perhaps more discrete than usual, but certainly fresh and vibrant. The palate is medium-bodied and viscous on the entry, a Yquem with perhaps a lighter chassis than recent vintages, prioritizing poise and purity over horsepower— exactly the right approach in such a challenging season. It opens wonderfully in the glass, gaining more frangipane and kaki fruit scents, though it seems to have a lighter and more tensile finish than the 2020 or 2019. As such, I suspect that it will be comparatively approachable and, of course, delicious. Readers should note that I will probably re-taste the 2021 in Bordeaux during primeur. 96/100
