The most mythical vintage of Bordeaux, among all! Already, in 1855, it was the only cru to be recognized as a premier cru classé supérieur, placing it above the red premiers crus classés.
The 2011 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - September 2021): 95/100 "The 2011 Château d'Yquem has a powerful and well defined bouquet, very pure with honey, barley sugar and quince. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity that cuts through the concentrated botrytised fruit. Very persistent and quite rich on the finish, this is decadent and rather gorgeous. Long-term."
Hachette (Guide 2016): 99/100 “The 2011 is also an absolute model of the refinement this vintage can achieve.”
