Yquem 2022

Cerebral and understated, the 2022 Yquem demands patience to reveal its considerable charms. Orange pith, passion fruit and quince emerge with coaxing, backed by whispers of chamomile and wild honey. Despite 160g/L residual sugar, the wine feels surprisingly nimble—vivid acidity and a hint of salinity create remarkable balance. This is Yquem for contemplation rather than immediate gratification.
