Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2016 Yquem was picked from 27 September until 4 November after drought-like conditions in the summer. It has an attractive nose with white chocolate, chamomile and Chinese white tea infusing the honeyed fruit. Very well defined and focused with more cohesion than previous bottles. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous opening that demonstrates a little more weight than the 2015, a fine bead of acidity and touches of ginger and lemongrass enlivening the finish. I feel this has gained a bit more complexity in recent years. Tasted at the château." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 96
"With 135 grams of residual sugar, the 2016 d'Yquem has turned out brilliantly in bottle, exhibiting a precise, harmonic, deep bouquet with aromas of mango, lychee, jasmine, exotic fruits, dry apricot and menthol. It’s moderately weighted and tense with a layered yet concentrated texture and a long, vibrant finish. Racy, charming and attractively complete, it distinguishes itself from its peers with its bright acidity." -Yohan Castaing

Jancis Robinson

JR 18
"75% Sémillon, 25% Sauvignon Blanc. The driest summer Yquem has ever recorded, followed by a very cool autumn. Harvested over four tries between 29 September – 4 November, with the bulk of the crop picked in the last two weeks.Broad and waxy with lovely lift and precision on the palate. It’s far from the most luscious or concentrated Yquem but it is recognisably waxy Yquem with medium intensity and sweetness and great length." -Jancis Robinson MW

Wine Spectator

WS 94
"This is exotic, with very lush and seductive notes of coconut, honeysuckle, creamed white peach, glazed pear, mirabelle plum and yellow apple, all woven together seamlessly. Beautifully caressing in feel, with a long acacia echo on the finish."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 96
"The bouquet opens with aromas of honey and citrus, offering richness and freshness at the same time. The mouthfeel is opulent, with honeyed flavors. There is some acidity underneath, although decadence and concentration are its defining attributes. It will age for decades."
