Description
Château d’Yquem, the undisputed icon of Sauternes, crafts the world’s most coveted dessert wine, and this elegant 375 mL half-bottle captures all of its opulent magic in a perfectly shareable size. Nestled on a single gravel ridge in Bordeaux’s southern Gironde region, the estate benefits from morning mists rolling off the Ciron River that encourage noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). The result is a painstakingly low-yield harvest, followed by meticulous barrel aging, that yields a golden nectar renowned for its complexity, balance, and longevity.
In the glass, Yquem shimmers deep amber-gold. Aromas erupt with dried apricot, pineapple, and marmalade layered over honeysuckle, saffron, vanilla bean, and toasted almond. The palate is luxuriously silky yet lifted by vibrant acidity, unfolding waves of honey-soaked peach, candied citrus peel, crème brûlée, and subtle smoky oak that linger for minutes. Sweetness is sumptuous but never cloying, making this wine a transcendent companion to seared foie gras, Roquefort, spicy Thai dishes, or a simple bowl of fresh strawberries. Cellar it confidently for decades, or enjoy tonight; even the 375 mL format will evolve gracefully.
