Chateau d'Yquem 2011
/ #61152366
Among sweet white wines, this chateau is considered one of the world's most renowned, where the Premier Cru Supérieur classification from 1855 is still unique. The wine is made from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, where careful selection and multiple pickings in the field ensure optimal botrytis and concentration. 2011 is described as a year of classic balance, where fresh acidity and generous fruit are in fine harmony, which has given the wine potential for both early enjoyment and longer aging. The expression is well defined with a focus on elegance and complexity rather than heaviness.
The reviewers have typically ranked this vintage highly – Wine Advocate and Vinous, among others, have rated the wine in the 96-99 point range, which supports the impression of a remarkably good vintage for the chateau. It is recommended to follow the development in the bottle over several decades, where both the depth of aroma and acidity will develop slowly.
