Un vino de Sauternes rico en
aromas Situado en el terruño de
Sauternes, el famoso
Château Yquem tiene un viñedo de 113 hectáreas y se beneficia de una increíble variedad de suelo que contribuye a la complejidad
final del vino.
"Château Yquem 2014 desvela un bouquet muy
cautivador que nos fascina con sus notas de miel pura y silvestre combinadas con aromas de almendra y chocolate blanco que le dan un contorno
sensual y
preciso. Revela un paladar
muy equilibrado con una
acidez cercana a la perfección. Es un vino
armonioso y ya logrado. Hay mucha profundidad en este vino, aunque es menos perceptible que en otras cosechas con esta línea de acidez resaltada por notas de sorbete de limón, cáscara de naranja, jengibre rallado y de nuevo algunas virutas de chocolate blanco.
Extremadamente
largo en el paladar, ofrece un acabado más marcado por la
flexibilidad que por la potencia

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The Château Yquem 2014 was picked over 9 weeks this year, with one-quarter of the grapes picked prior to 15 September. It delivers 134 grams per liter residual sugar and 7.3 grams per liter tartaric acid, with a pH 3.60. It has a captivating bouquet (I know...I know...what else were you expecting) But it entrances with its pure, wild honey notes mixed with almond and white chocolate scents, bestowed with beguiling delineation and focus. The palate is very poised with the acidity nigh on perfect. Occasionally an Yquem only reveals its components parts at this early juncture, necessitates conjecture. However the 2014 has a sense of harmony and completeness already, as if the élevage is merely there to usher it on to its finished state. There is undeniably great depth here, perhaps less conspicuous than other vintages because of that silver thread of acidity: notes of lemon sherbet, orange zest, shaved ginger and again, a few flakes' of white chocolate. It is extremely long with tenderness rather than power on the finish. It's not quite up there in the rarefied heights of say, the 2001 or 2009, but it is what we call in the trade, the business.
