Château D'Yquem
2000
A year that had several major advantages in terms of weather: temperatures 2°C above average between March and September and a slight water stress. Grapes harvested during the first pass confirmed having lived up to their potential. Unfortunately, however, relentless rain in October ruined nearly 80% of the crop, and production was limited to 25,000 bottles. A vintage reminiscent of 1982.
