Château d’Yquem has announced that it will not be producing a Sauternes this year.
According to Agence France Presse, the estate’s director Pierre Lurton said the quality was “insufficient”.
Lurton continued: “We did everything we could but, sadly, nothing came together despite our efforts, despite our great terroir.
“A brand such as Yquem must know when not to make a vintage. For the sake of the brand’s image and place in history, it’s reasonable to not make a 2012.”
