Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes 2007 is a glowing, opulent sweet wine layered with ripe stone fruits, citrus peel and floral notes, framed by smoky, spicy botrytis complexity. The palate is intensely concentrated yet buoyed by racy acidity, giving a long, precise and almost weightless finish despite its richness. A quintessentially regal and ageworthy Yquem.

Château d’Yquem Sauternes is the benchmark sweet wine of Bordeaux, a Premier Cru Supérieur from the highest slopes of Sauternes, crafted mainly from botrytized Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc to achieve extraordinary richness balanced by vivid acidity. Famous for its creamy, honeyed opulence, intense concentration and complex layers of candied fruit, spice and florals, it is also renowned for remarkable longevity, often evolving gracefully for many decades in bottle.
