(Decanter) - Chateau d'Yquem has pulled out of making a Sauternes in 2012 after the vintage failed a post-harvest taste test. The LVMH-owned Sauternes first growth confirmed to Decanter.com that 'there will be no Chateau d'Yquem in the 2012 vintage'. It is the first time in 20 years that the chateau has made such a call. 'This is a very difficult decision, but the tasting of the harvest confirmed that the level of quality is not satisfactory to become Yquem,' said chateau spokeswoman Valérie Lailheugue.
