Honey-glazed stone fruits and candied citrus peel build slowly, revealing layers of white flowers and mineral tension beneath. The 160g/L residual sugar feels weightless thanks to piercing acidity that lifts everything skyward. Classic Yquem restraint. This needs years to show its full glory.

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.
