樂活酒窖 La Vie Wine

d’Yquem一詞最早來源於十世紀日耳曼語中的aighelm，意為擁有尖頂頭盔的人。Ch. d’Yquem是波爾多歷史最悠久的酒莊之一。1593年，貴族後裔Jaques Sauvage受封獲得d’Yquem領地。根據The Gironde department記載，那時d’Yquem酒莊及周圍的酒莊已經在種植葡萄，用貴腐葡萄釀造貴腐甜酒。到1711年法國國王路易十四正式冊封貴族爵位，成為Ch. d’Yquem的正式莊主。1855年，Françoise Joséphine de Sauvage d’Yquem被追授封為 "the lady of Yquem"的巨大成就，在皇帝拿破崙三世的要求指定此莊園分級制度,為獨一無二的Premier Grand Cru 頂級特等葡萄園殊榮,也是Sauternes區最高等級。

Château d’YQUEM 2013

The wine receive several good comments from the specialized Press:

James Molesworth March 2014

Lush already, this is loaded with mango, creamed peach and papaya flavors, as well as creamed melon and yellow apple fruit.
The finish shows almond and meringue notes, with a bright floral chamomile threat. This has a youthful kick on the finish that should settle in.
The purity is undeniable, the length extraordinary. Another classic in the making. Tasted non blind.

95 - 98

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 30 Avril 2014
A majority of the 2013 Château d’Yquem was picked between September 25 and October 2, augmented by a second trie on October 11 after rains
had provoked botrytis and then a third trie from October 21 and 24, before a final pass through the vineyard at the end of the month. 

Winemaker Sandrine Garbay told me that all the lots were equates to around 70.000 and 80.000 bottles.
During assemblage of different lots, the blend ended up 30% Sauvignon Blanc, a little higher than usual, and 70% Semillon,
while the residual sugar comes in at 140gm/L, which is a little higher than average. The reason is that the fermentation stopped naturally at this level,
therefore the alcohol is a tad lower than average at 13.1 degrees. Firstly, you notice the colour, which is a touch deeper than recent vintages at this stage.
The bouquet is quite honeyed and rich for Yquem at this early juncture, with subtle scents of peach skin, white flowers, and a puff of chalk and frangipane.
The palate is viscous on the entry, all about the texture at first, coating the mouth with luscious botrytized fruit.
There are touches of Seville orange marmalade, fresh apricot, a hint of spice and passion fruit. This is imbued with impressive depth and weight, perhaps an Yquem
that is determined to make an impression after last year’s absence. It might not possess the finesse of a top flight Yquem, but it has immense power and persistency.

Y d'Yquem  2014        Y~不甜白酒

Y is produced from the same outstanding terroir and vines as Château d'Yquem. Although work in the vineyard is every bit as meticulous, the grapes are picked and thewine made in a different way.
Y is a powerful wine that generally has 14% alcohol by volume and fully reflects the intrinsic potential of grapes at Yquem. The wine's richness, aromas and remarkable balance, combined with its subtle impression of sweetness, fully express its noble origins and unique character.
Y is delicious throughout the meal. It is a treat with seafood and fish dishes, as well as goat's cheese and sheep's cheese.
Tasting note from the vinyeard
2014 Y is a brilliant blend showcasing fruitiness, power, and freshness. It is reminiscent of the 2007 and 2011 vintages.

Grape varieties: 75% Sauvignon Blanc – 25% Sémillon
