Château d’Yquem 2021 glides across the palate with graceful richness, layering ripe exotic fruit and citrus over notes of floral cream and subtle spice, all carried by a refined sweetness that stays bright and lifted rather than heavy. The texture is silky yet buoyant, and a gentle, appetizing bitterness at the end keeps the long finish precise and refreshing.

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.
