Château d'Yquem: Bordeaux's Ultimate Sweet Wine

Château d'Yquem stands as the pinnacle of Sauternes sweet wines, a true icon of Bordeaux. Renowned for its luxurious taste and storied history, Yquem is a wine that has captivated connoisseurs worldwide. With a Premier Cru Supérieur title, it holds a unique position among Bordeaux wines. Produced from meticulously selected botrytis-infected berries, Yquem is celebrated for its complexity, balance, and longevity. This 2013 vintage, available in half bottles, is just entering its prime drinking window and promises decades of aging potential.

Intensive Craftsmanship and Unique Characteristics

Yquem's vineyards, situated at the highest elevation in the appellation, are perfect for cultivating botrytis-infected berries, the key to its unique flavor profile. Comprising 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, the vines thrive in a blend of clay, sand, and gravel over limestone. The winemaking process is meticulous, with an intensive vineyard management involving multiple selective picks. This dedication results in a wine with a perfect balance of sugar and acidity,

• Allowing for a sense of genuine freshness
• That prevents it from becoming cloying

Indulgence in Every Sip and Perfect Pairings

Yquem is not just a dessert wine; its rich, sweet, and zesty flavors make it an exceptional accompaniment to savory dishes as well. The 2013 vintage features a deep golden hue, offering an array of aromas and flavors including yellow peach, dried apricot, and citrus blossom honey. With 140 grams of residual sugar, the wine's brisk acidity cuts through, ensuring a refreshing finish.

• Enjoy it now or age it for decades
• Pair it with indulgent dishes like seared foie gras

Don't miss the opportunity to experience this legendary nectar, as it's a rare find and may not be offered again soon. No more than two half-bottles per person, so act fast!
