Vintage Notes

Weather
A warm and rainy spring triggered vegetative growth as of 10 May, almost 15 days earlier than usual. A wet yet cool month of June then ensued, followed by a hot, dry summer, which was fortunately mitigated by spring water reserves.

September sunshine led to a generous first round of picking, particularly for the Sauvignon Blanc grapes, providing all their aromas and the fine acidity invaluable to each blend.

Late September rainfall was conducive to the even spread of Botrytis cinerea yet we had to wait until the weekend of 18 October, with a spell of five days of sunshine and strong south-easterly winds, to achieve a spectacular concentration of fully botrytised grapes.

In these perilous conditions, the expertise and experience of the teams was decisive in capturing the essence of these two passes, which constituted the very heart of the vintage and bestowed it with an ethereal, delicate character.

The harvest
16 days of harvesting in 5 successive passes, from 14 September to 29 October, interrupted by heavy rainfall.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2020 d'Yquem presents a fresh bouquet with aromas of white fruits, orchard fruits and mango, complemented by a hint of spring flowers. It’s perfectly balanced and moderately weighted compared to other vintages, making it a tense, penetrating d’Yquem. Despite the challenges of the growing season and a brief harvest (which began on September 30th and concluded on October 12th), d'Yquem's team managed to produce a mere 40,000 bottles, a modest yield in recent years.
