The 2015 Château d'Yquem is a blend of 75% Semillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc that was picked on the gravelly soils as early as 3 and 4 September until 21 October, four tries through the vineyard. It delivers 144 grams per liter of residual sugar, with six-grams of tartaric acid, a pH 3.65 and 13.9% alcohol. It has a show-stopping bouquet that is beautifully defined and very complex and exuberant, in...

The Story

The pleasure derived from tasting Yquem is difficult to describe.

It offers a myriad of well-balanced, complex flavours that generate even more harmonies over time. The impression that remains is reminiscent of a quote from Frédéric Dard "the silence that follows a piece by Mozart, in which the listener remains suffused with the music". This reflects the fact that Château d'Yquem stays on the palate for a remarkable long time, providing a u...

Vuosikerta 2015

Full report of Bordeaux 2015 by Andrew Caillard MW “Next in line in a great series of vintages; 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2015.

 

2015 is a wonderful Bordeaux vintage without the hype or hysteria associated with 2009 and 2010. The wines are generally expressive and generous with wonderful concentration and structure. Given another year in barrel, the wines should gain more complexity and fruit volume. Châteaux, in all sub-regions, are e...

This is a very powerful yet at the same time bright and dry d’Yquem. Full-bodied, sweet yet phenolic and layered. Love the combination between tannin and sweetness. The purity and beauty are incredible; it’s the freshness and lightness that make this wine, yet the depth and richness are undeniable

Following a very long harvest stretching nearly two months, the 2015 Château d'Yquem came in at 13.9% alcohol and 144 grams per liter of residual sugar, sporting a pH of 3.65 and six grams per liter of tartaric acid. None of these numbers, however, even remotely begin to tell you how profound this wine is. The nose opens with electric notes of ripe pineapples, green mango, orange blossoms and lemon tart with hints of fungi, lime zest, crushed rocks and jasmine. The freshness on the palate is just astonishing, permeating and lifting layer upon layer of tropical fruits and earthy notions, all encased in a sumptuous texture and culminating in a very, very long, mineral-tinged finish. Truly, this is a legendary vintage for d'Yquem. I've been conservative with my drinking window here, and I would not be at all surprised if our descendants are drinking this vintage well into the next century.

RS 144 g/l, TA 6 g/l, pH 3.65. Mid gold. Very direct and glossy. Edge of veg and toast. Real tension! Tense pear juice with lots of grip and attack. Lots of acidity as well as all that sugar. Really energetic. Long. Amazing persistence. So neat. Real attack. Massive apparent acidity. Tasted: 01-Apr-2016

Château d'Yquem 2015 19.5-20 DV

This is as close as it gets perfection! With 140 g/l of residual sugar, this Yquem is still so fresh and sophisticated, that I did not want to put my glass down. I am in love with this 2015 vintage. It has a great complexity of fruit, with notes of yellow-plums and sweet acacia honey. The palate is rich and elegant, revealing a long lasting acidity of candied pink-grapefruit. This is by far one of the best vintages of Yquem ever produced. After a sip of this nectar, it is easy to understand why Yquem is consider the best sweet wine in the world! Drinking window 2023- ∞.

2015 d'Yquem was tasted on three separate occasions, twice at the property and at event in Opera, Bordeaux. Unctuous, fabulous acidity and richness, intensity and concentration, fantastic complexity, depth and length. Heavenly stuff! 99p

Intense golden yellow colour. Opulent nose with aroma reminiscent of apricots and peaches, pineapple and passionfruit, hints of mango and tangerine-zest in the background. Honey and vanilla, discreet gingerbread spices On the palate truly grand, opulent character, freshness assured by almost salty minerality rather than acidity, a wine with depth and excellent length, long lingering tropical fruit in the finish. A great and opulent Yquem in a rich and persistent style.

Pale colour. Intense honeycomb, ginger, grapefruit glacé aromas. Beautiful ripe grapefruit pineapple flavours with ginger marzipan notes, fine looseknit slinky textures and lovely mineral length. Very tangy yet incredibly well concentrated. Lovely weight and texture. Not heavy nor light. Very good wine. Picked four times between 3rd September and 21st October. 98 points easy.

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is yellow and light. On the nose it is open, intense, youthful, refined, fresh, ripe, seductive, rich and charming. The taste is fresh, focused, fragrant, and sweet, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with perfectly balanced structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has apricot, toasty, glycerin, honey and mineral flavours. The finish is long, lingering, flavorful and spicy. This wine is sophisticated, intelligent and fine.
