Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes 2014 layers ripe apricot, peach and exotic tropical fruit with honeyed richness, yet stays remarkably lifted by vibrant citrus and precise acidity. The texture is creamy yet energetic, with spice, botrytis complexity and a long, finely etched finish that gains depth with air.

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.
