A Premier Cru Supérieur sweet white Bordeaux from Sauternes, made from 75% Sémillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc. The 2016 grapes were harvested in four passes after noble rot developed following October rains, and the wine was fermented in new French oak barrels. Château d'Yquem is the sole property classified Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 Classification of Sauternes and Barsac.
Serve lightly chilled between 10–12°C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass. It is best appreciated on its own, though it also pairs well at the table.
Tasting Notes
Honeyed apricot and tangerine peel, with passion fruit, mango, pineapple, mineral quality, orange blossom, candied ginger and botrytis spice.
Full-bodied and opulent, with concentrated honeyed stone fruit and exotic tropical notes, rich creamy texture, vibrant acidity, coriander seed and marzipan undertones, plus a deep mineral core.
Exceptionally long and luminous, with citrus peel, nutmeg and crushed rock, the sweetness receding to a dry, mineral-inflected signature.
