Château d’Yquem 2013 glows with layered tropical and stone-fruit flavors—mango, peach, glazed pear, and hints of orange zest—wrapped in luscious sweetness that’s held firmly in check by racy acidity. Notes of honey, toasted nuts and gentle spice build across the palate, giving a refined, long, and vibrant finish that feels both opulent and precise.

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.
