Château d’Yquem is an extraordinary place.

In the heart of Sauternes, with a hundred hectares of vineyards planted on a mosaic of different soils, all the conditions are there to grow exceptional grapes and achieve the finest noble rot, the famous botrytis cinerea.

Through a sublimation process, the grapes reach a level of richness in taste and aromas that is simply unique in the world. Yquem vehemently protects its selective harvesting secret that is carried out by a team of devoted highly experienced local pickers, who have received their ancestral knowledge from the generations that came before them. Therefore, only the best grapes with botrytis cinerea are picked. This is the price to pay to achieve excellence.

Very transparent and elegant with white peaches, lilacs, and light caramel. Medium-bodied, sweet and agile with salted caramel and dried orange character. Spicy botrytis at the end.

This has a broad and unctuous feel, with nectarine, apricot and mango notes creating an opulent feel, while racy bitter almond, orange blossom and elderberry accents add contrast and range. The lush finish is carried by notes of mango and piecrust. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
