Château d'Yquem Sauternes 1cc. 2020 0,75l
Château d’Yquem, the sole Premier Cru Supérieur of Sauternes, is a benchmark for noble sweet wines. Its vineyards crown the highest point of the appellation and sit on a patchwork of sandy-gravel and clay-limestone soils planted mainly with Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes are picked in multiple passes, berry by berry, once noble rot has perfectly developed, then the wine is aged for an extended period in oak. The bouquet is intensely complex, with candied citrus, apricot, peach and exotic fruit layered with honey, spice and subtle smokiness. On the palate d’Yquem is rich, silky and profound, balanced by vibrant acidity and an extraordinarily long, mouth-coating finish.
