Apricot, orange marmalade and exotic spice flow with remarkable purity, while razor-sharp acidity cuts through layers of concentrated sweetness. The botrytis character is seamlessly integrated, never cloying. Pure silk on the finish with extraordinary length.

Yquem

The most celebrated sweet wine estate in the world, Château d'Yquem has anchored Sauternes for centuries. Its 1855 classification as Premier Cru Supérieur remains unchallenged, and its wines set the global benchmark for botrytised Bordeaux.
