Chateau d'Yquem 2016 Sauternes France Floral Honey & Fruit Chateau Petite Vedrines the 2021 Chardonnay Bien NacidoA very classic Yquem. Breathtakingly wide spectrum of floral honey, exotic fruit (passion fruit, mango and pineapple), caramel and marzipan aromas. But none of this is a jot too much. In fact, the wine is extremely precise and finely nuanced. Wonderful freshness and textural complexity, in spite of the considerable concentration and extravagance. Very suave and sensual finish that goes on and on. Drink or hold. 99 Pts James Suckling
