This iconic wine was produced in an unusually dry year with excessive temperatures despite an overall lack of sunshine. Ripening was uneven and picking was rather complicated, starting on 12/9 and finishing on 5/11.
The 2002 vintage is a very elegant vintage that best expresses Yquem`s terroir beutifully, and features a remarkable balance between sweetness and acidity. It is a rich golden colour that is complimented by an intense, fresh, floral and honeyed nose. Very refined enchanting the palate with rich, creamy vanilla laden spicy fruit and alluring freshness.
