Estate manager Lorenzo Pasquini calls 2021, 2022 and 2023 only the “second great trilogy” in Yquem’s history, the first being the fabled 1988, 1989 and 1990. James Suckling named the 2023 among his wines of the vintage and likens its classic poise to benchmark Bordeaux years such as 1982 and 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhere the 2021 was fresh and intellectual and the 2022 the warmest, most powerful Yquem on record, the 2023 is the synthesis of the two - the freshness of one and the power of the other. A blend of 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, picked between 14 September and 11 October as botrytis swept early and evenly through the vineyard, it carries 153–154 grams of residual sugar - among the ten most concentrated Yquems ever made — yet stays weightless: pineapple, guava, confit citrus, wild honey and that signature thread of saffron drawn long and taut by racy, almost saline acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThis is the classic 750ml format - the way Yquem is meant to be shown, and the reference bottle for any serious cellar. Flattering in its youth, it will reward patience for half a century or more.
