Sauternes 2015 Vintage Overview

2015 OVERVIEW

Château d’Yquem 2015 layers succulent stone and tropical fruits with citrus zest, toasted nuts and subtle pastry tones, all wrapped in a glycerol, honeyed richness that’s kept effortlessly aloft by rapier-like acidity. The balance of depth, sweetness and drive is extraordinary, and the finish seems to glow long after each sip.

About Sauternes

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.
