Overview

A blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2022 d'Yquem is a strong candidate for the title of wine of the vintage. Exhibiting a remarkably delicate, complex and energetic bouquet of rose, confit citrus, exotic fruits and orange marmalade, it's full-bodied, dense and deep with a pristine balance enhanced by a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and beautiful, gastronomic bitterness and dry extracts that segue to a long, ethereal, delicately perfumed and refined finish. Lorenzo Pasquini and his team have perfectly understood the vintage by privileging the third tries, fully exposed to Botrytis cinerea, in the blend, bringing density and precision along with an energetic and splendidly balanced interplay of bitterness and sweetness. Residual sugar levels reach 160 grams per liter, marking it as the second-highest since the iconic 1945 vintage.

The 2022 Yquem has a much more extravagant and complex bouquet, with ample botrytis and hints of pineapple, fresh fig and quince coming through with time. The palate is well balanced, with a viscous entry and fine acidity, rich but tensile, with marmalade and quince towards the harmonious finish. Very promising. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London. By Neal Martin January 2026
