Its color changes over the years from the brightness of dawn to the darkness of dusk, and from shimmering straw yellow to golden-brown with amber and caramel highlights, and then to mahogany.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“In bottles of Yquem are imprisoned the burning summers of long ago”. Never has a vintage been such a wonderful reflection of the poetic vision of François Mauriac. Because 2022 was one such year: with unprecedented heat and a prolonged spell of drought, a succession of extreme phenomena caused a great deal of worry among the winegrowing teams. But more than anything, it produced a powerful, sunny and exuberant Château d’Yquem. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting out lively with candied fruit flavours, 2022 Château d’Yquem is resolutely reminiscent of apricot jam. Rich and concentrated, it coats the palate, revealing notes of beeswax, caramel and quince paste. Its powdery texture is prolonged by a touch of salinity and lovely bitter notes on the finish, which enhance the candied bitter orange characteristic of Yquem wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Glazers Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":50211898065213,"sku":"","price":491.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/6261\/8173\/files\/Yquem-2011-wine-store-palm-springs_077e7238-fcc7-4d43-bff0-f8bf36828eff.jpg?v=1720624614","url":"https:\/\/www.perryspsp.com\/products\/chateau-dyquem-sauternes-2022","provider":"Perry's Fine Wines \u0026 Liquors - Palm Springs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
