Tasting Notes for Château d'Yquem 2023
Tasting Comments from the Technical Team
For three consecutive vintages, noble rot has distinguished itself with remarkable complexity and purity, giving rise to an exceptional trilogy, of which Château d'Yquem 2023 represents the pinnacle. It combines the crystalline freshness of 2021 with the sun-drenched power of 2022.
On the nose, it is pure and dense, reminiscent of cooked rhubarb, lilac blossoms, and citrus fruits, with a touch of cedar and beeswax.
The palate is smooth and enveloping, carried by an almondy texture that underscores its vibrant power. Its ample structure reveals notes of apricot, Agen plum, and mandarin marmalade, leading to a long and flavorful finish. Château d’Yquem 2023 fully reflects the miracle of noble rot, a wine of rare intensity that will gradually reveal its full dimension over time.
Regarding the 2023 vintage:
An apotheosis is defined as something or an event that ends in a brilliant, extraordinary way. The year 2023 offered a confluence of climatic events so favorable to the production of Château d’Yquem that everyone knew, from the moment the harvest was over, that this vintage would rank among the very greatest. But without the experience of the two previous years and the adaptive intelligence of the teams, would it have been so?
The story of the production of this 2023 vintage is a true lesson in nature: it places humankind not at the center of nature, but alongside it. For to navigate this tropical spring, this extreme summer heat—fortunately interrupted by rain—and then the favorable anticyclonic weather at the end of September, it was necessary to master the art of anticipation and decisiveness to produce a wine that is both pure and dense, powerful and delicate. Everything a lover of Yquem could dream of now bears the seal of the year 2023. The hoped-for vintage has arrived, and a dazzling new trilogy takes shape at three peaks: 2021 with its crystalline beauty, 2022 with its solar power, and 2023 with its divine balance. Each vintage illuminates the others with its light, like the panels of a triptych by a great master.
Located south of Bordeaux, the château's vineyard covers 113 hectares and is cultivated using traditional methods. One vine is all it takes to produce a single glass of Yquem!
12bouteilles advice : If there is one vintage of Chateau d'Yquem to have in your cellar, it is this 2023 which will improve for many years in the cellar.
The wines will be available for delivery from September 2026.
