Château d’Yquem 2019 opens with vivid notes of ripe mango, peach and apricot layered with citrus zest, floral lift and a gentle touch of caramel. The palate is rich yet poised, carrying its generous sweetness on a beam of refreshing acidity, finishing very long, silky and luminous rather than heavy.
Roquefort cheese; Seared foie gras with fig compote; Apricot tart with almond frangipane
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.
