Description
This year had record temperatures as well as drought conditions that caused the biggest forest fire France has ever known. Showers in May and June limited water stress, and light showers in early September gave rise to botrytis. The whole crop was brought in thanks to just two passes. Yields were low, but quality high. This Yquem is larger than life and has enormous potential.
