Classified as the sole Premier Cru Superieur during the historic 1855 Classification of Bordeaux, Chateau d'Yquem operates in a league of its own. For centuries, the estate has ben lauded as the world's greatest sweet wine, thanks to its vineyard position, unique soil composition, and proximity to the 2 rivers of Ciron and the Garonne creating the ideal conditions for the Botrytis or Noble Rot to settle into their esteemed vineyards. Yquem's dedication to producing these monumental wines often requires painstaking harvest practices, leading to multiple passes, or Tries, in order to ensure only the perfectly botrytised grapes are harvested. In difficult vintages or where the quality of the grapes are deemed insufficient, the entire vintage will be bottle and sold anonymously.
2010 was a cooler, slightly drier year in Sauternes, with a warm Summer which was followed by late Autumnal rains which helped to initiate the Botrytis affliction in the vineyards. This late arrival of the noble rot allowed for these wines to retain their purity, and a freshness underlined by a remarkable acidity. The downside of a late noble rot is the spicier flavors of Botrytis (Saffron, ginger, and orange blossom) are much more delicate, instead a crystalline focused character persists.
The 2010 is composed of 87% Semillon and 13% Sauvigon Blanc. The nose displays the vintage's signature freshness, initially being a rather restrained unfolding of apricots, mirabelle plum, candied orange zest, and white flowers. On the palate, given some time in the glass, this wine's richness and power truly go on display with grilled pineapple, honey, and acacia honey. Serve alongside grilled peach half, with a balsamic reduction and smatterings of Stilton cheese.
