CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM 1982

Wine 1982 1er Cru Classé Supérieur  Bordeaux Sauternes

The Château d'Yquem rested all its hopes on a single sorting carried out on September 16th. Due to severe weather, the grapes were too damaged, so the other selections are unusable. Wine lovers will remember the finesse and balance of this charming Château d'Yquem 1982 despite the low yields.

Revista Adega : After these giants, we still tasted the Yquem 1982 in a double magnum bottle (3 liters!). Although this harvest was not the best for the development of botrytis, it gave rise to this fascinating wine, which highlights the typical Yquem saffron when aged. And this along with the honey and balance that all sweet wines in the world would like to have.

 So it was the bottle! The wine continues its beautiful and noble adventure. Coppery and intense color. Very fine nose, subtle, finely vanilla, giving an impression of timelessness. Melting, airy, silky and powerful palate, with a very beautiful fruitiness. Subtle finish, noble texture. Superb. A great success from Yquem that I have always considered superior to the 1983.

Bright medium golden yellow, silver reflections. Intense nuances of blossom honey, orange marmalade, tangerine wedges, some lanolin and saffron, seductive bouquet. Complex, juicy, well-implemented sweetness, seems substantial and powerful, pleasant wood spice on the finish, a rather baroque style owed to the hot vintage, already fully mature, versatile.

A nice d'Yquem, but short of thrilling, the wine is on the orange, tropical side of the style range with caramel, molasses, and brown sugar nuances that ride along with the candied orange rind, molasses, tangerine and candied orange rind, topped with an array of spices and butterscotch. Drink from 2022-2037.

Château d'Yquem

The Château d'Yquem is an area of 133 hectares including 113 hectares of vineyards, 102 acres operated, south of Bordeaux in Sauternes region that produces a sweet white wine ranked Premier Cru Superior, the only wine from the Sauternes category.

It is considered by many as the best Sauternes. The yield is only 6 hectoliters per hectare and in some years, if the quality is not deemed sufficient, the bottles are not sold under this label.

The wines are characterized by their complexity due to a significant amount of residual sugar and flavorings made by Botrytis cinerea. A relatively high acidity helps offset the sweetness. Another characteristic for which Château d'Yquem is known is his longevity. In good years does present a bottle of his outstanding after one or two decades in a cellar and with care it will keep for a century or more, adding to the complexity...

Since 1959 Chateau d'Yquem produces a dry white wine named "Y" (and before 2004 "Y Lur-Saluces") makes an equal proportion of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. This wine, like great wine is not produced every year. The 2005 vintage was the first vintage of Yquem offered for sale en primeur.
