Cave de France's note: A sumptuous vintage, though atypical for Sauternes due to climatic conditions marked by a dry season. This led to a more limited production, but a wine of exceptional concentration, endowed with remarkable elegance and precision.
Brilliant golden color with a beautiful luminosity.
Delicate and refined nose, offering aromas of yellow-fleshed fruits (apricot, peach), citrus zest, acacia honey, with subtle notes of vanilla and toasted almond.
The palate is very well structured, with a richness in sugar perfectly balanced by fresh acidity. Flavors of candied fruits, marmalade, and a slight spicy touch are present. The texture is silky, and the finish is long, pure and brilliant.
As always with Yquem, the aging potential is extraordinary. This vintage can age for decades, developing even more complex aromas over time.

Drinking a glass, even just one glass of Château d'Yquem, is one of those exceptional experiences in a lifetime! Yquem is the King of Sauternes, and for many oenophiles, the best wine in the world, no more no less. The prestige of the name shines throughout the world as a guarantee of absolute quality. The exceptional vineyard of the Château flourishes on a mosaic of soils ranging from gravel to limestone, sand and clay, on gently sloping hillsides fabulously oriented in the heart of the microclimate of the Garonne Valley, in short, a veritable XXL cozy bed for the hundred or so hectares cultivated.

Château d'Yquem's note: A cool year, which the hot and dry summer would make particularly interesting; ideal harvest conditions, very healthy raw material where it is crucial to harvest only the best terroirs, to avoid the temptation of abundance by rigorous selection and to succeed in a blend whose brilliance and dimension exceed the hope that the vintage aroused.
