Château d’Yquem 2016
'A very classic Yquem... Breathtakingly wide spectrum of floral honey, exotic fruit, caramel & marzipan aromas'
James Suckling
We are delighted this morning to offer you the 2016 vintage of Château d’Yquem.
A wine of ‘epic poise and persistence’, says Lisa Perrotti-Brown, the vintage was one of the driest summers on record at the property. The dry conditions and a long cool autumn produced a wine of wonderful intensity and layered complexity with an elegant freshness to balance. A wine which ‘leaps from the glass’ the palate is ‘vibrant and refreshing with layer upon layer of minerals and spices.’
An opportunity to secure a few cases with perfect provenance, the Château has also released some rare half bottles.
Please contact us as soon as possible.

‘Containing 135 grams per liter of residual sugar, the pale lemon-gold colored 2016 d’Yquem leaps from the glass with honeyed apricots, pineapple, green mango, crushed rocks, candied ginger, coriander seed and citrus peel with hints of orange blossom. The palate is very tightly wound, vibrant and refreshing with layer upon layer of minerals and spices, finishing with epic poise and persistence. Drink 2024-2064’ 98+ points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Advocate
‘A very classic Yquem. Breathtakingly wide spectrum of floral honey, exotic fruit (passion fruit, mango and pineapple), caramel and marzipan aromas. But none of this is a jot too much. In fact, the wine is extremely precise and finely nuanced. Wonderful freshness and textural complexity, in spite of the considerable concentration and extravagance. Very suave and sensual finish that goes on and on. Drink or hold’ 99 points, James Suckling
