Chateau d'Yquem 2019 750ml
$1623.00 price per bottle
France’s most iconic sweet wine, Chateau d’Yquem hails from the prestigious Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux. Owned by the luxury conglomerate LVMH since 1999, the estate boasts centuries of winemaking tradition dating back to the late 16th century. Known for its exceptional terroir and commitment to quality, Yquem is the only Sauternes classified as Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 classification. Wine Description The 2019 vintage displays a luminous golden hue with shimmering brilliance. On the nose, it bursts with vibrant aromas of apricot, honey, marmalade, orange zest, and subtle hints of ginger and white flowers. The palate is opulently layered with flavours of dried pineapple, candied citrus, and crème brûlée, wrapped in a silky, glycerol-rich texture. Balanced by a precise spine of acidity, the wine shows remarkable freshness despite its richness. Accolades Wine Advocate – 98 points James Suckling – 97 points Vinous – 96 points Wine Spectator – 96 points Food Pairing This elegant Sauternes shines alongside foie gras, blue cheese such as Roquefort, or rich seafood dishes like lobster in a butter sauce. It also pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts like tarte Tatin or poached pears. This pairing highlights the wine’s depth and character.
