Château d'Yquem 1947

Tasting notes

"The 1947 Château d'Yquem is one of the legendary vintages of the 20th century, even if consensus seems to be that it is not quite up there with the monumental 1945. However, it is still a bona fide classic Yquem that after almost seven decades is still doling out pleasure. It is certainly deep in color, burnished amber, deeper than the 1945 as I remember it. The nose is ethereal. (...) The nose offers quince and rosewater, a touch of wilted rose petals, even crushed strawberry. The palate has the weight and presence of that hot vintage, albeit not the electrifying tension of the 1945. There is more corpulence here, more heft and yet that razor-sharp acidity keeps everything perfectly in place -- maintaining immense freshness and vitality on the sustained finish. It was, and it is, a brilliant Yquem."

In certain years, Château d'Yquem produces a small amount of dry white wine composed of 50 % Sauvignon and 50 % Sémillion: Y, whose bouquet and power make it stand out among the white wines of Bordeaux.
