Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes 2020 glides across the palate with layered notes of apricot, mango and ripe peach wrapped in honey, citrus zest and delicate floral tones, all cut by a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity. The texture is silky yet precise, with hints of spice, toasted pastry and salted caramel carrying through a long, luxurious finish that already shows great harmony but promises even more complexity with time.

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.
