“Just a perfect Yquem – absolutely flawless.
Neil Martin, 2007

The winemakers at Yquem says it's their greatest modern wine ever. They have not exaggerated.
- James Suckling 2005

“Lurton, 47, (the Estate Director) and the estate's head cellar master Francis Mayeur, 46, say that the 2001 Yquem is a benchmark for the property and will take its place as a classic in the same light as legendary vintages of the last century, including 1967, 1959, 1947 and 1921.”
A rare 20/20 from the hard marking
