2010 Bordeaux En Primeur Chateau Yquem Tasting at Cheval Blanc
One of the 2010 Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes En Primeur tastings was held at Cheval Blanc and as Yquems wine maker Sandrine Garbay had come all the way up to St Emilion to serve us, I asked her to tell us in her own words how she saw the vintage.
Sandrine felt it was a wonderful vintage for Yquem and that the cold temperatures during harvest gives it a lot of freshness, acidity and fruitness.
Shes more than happy with what she describes as a very classical wine. "It's very elegant, very delicate, precise, and very different from the very powerful 2009 Sauternes".
