97 Points - Decanter
The 2019 Château d'Yquem contains the highest proportion of Sauvignon Blanc (45%) in the estate's modern history, bringing exceptional freshness to balance its luscious sweetness and richness. Vibrant flavors of peach, apricot, lemon and orange zest make it surprisingly approachable in its youth, though it promises even greater complexity after a decade or more of cellaring. Produced from a challenging vintage with a short harvest window, it is expected to age beautifully.
97 Points - Wine Spectator
A captivating Sauternes from the first sip, bursting with pure papaya, mango, white peach and mirabelle plum layered with elderflower honey, toasted macadamia and orange blossom.

96 Points - James Suckling
Rich yet vibrant, this Château d'Yquem reveals aromas and flavors of tarte Tatin, salted caramel and dried orange. Medium- to full-bodied with moderate sweetness, it offers a creamy, rounded texture balanced by lively freshness. The palate evolves into notes of caramel and burnt vanilla sugar before an exceptionally long finish. Made from 55% Sémillon and 45% Sauvignon Blanc with 138 g/L of residual sugar. Drink now or cellar.
93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Composed of 55% Sémillon and 45% Sauvignon Blanc—the highest proportion of Sauvignon Blanc in the estate's history—the 2019 Château d'Yquem displays an aromatic profile driven by the Sauvignon Blanc, with notes of menthol, artichoke, iodine, asparagus and fresh orchard fruits. Delicately balanced and energetic, it offers remarkable tension and precision, concluding with an elegant, fruit-filled finish.
