Château D'Yquem

Spring was fairly cool and flowering took place on an average date. This was followed by a warm, dry summer and then storms in late August and early September that brought 50 mm of rain. Noble rot developed well and the first half of the crop was very rich. Things became more complicated starting on the 9th of October when 100 mm of rain fell leaving too few windows in which to pick. So the second part of the crop not at good or as concentrated as the first.
