Description
Chateau d`Yquem is often described as the greatest sweet wine in the world. After centuries of family ownership, Yquem was finally sold in acrimonious circumstances to Louis Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy in 1999. However, its former owner and director Alexandre de Lur-Saluce remains in charge. Yquem is located on the highest hill in Sauternes and enjoys the best growing conditions in the whole appellation. The 110-hectare vineyard is planted with 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Only fully botrytized fruit is picked by the 150 highly skilled pickers and yields are so low that each vine produces only one glass of wine.
Yquem is fermented in oak barrels (100% new) and is left in barriques to mature for up to 36 months. Intensely opulent when young, Yquem develops an extraordinary complexity and exotic richness when fully mature, with the best vintages lasting for over 50 years. Château d'Yquem is classified as a 1er Cru Classé supérieur.
Description
Variety: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc
Colour: Deep gold in colour.
Aroma: Yquem manages to combine, on the nose, upfront concentration with an aromatic elegance. A classic bouquet of apricot preserve, Seville orange and white blossom combine with subtle hints of nutmeg and ginger biscuit.
Taste: On the palate there is real power straight off the bat with a viscous mouth feel, the mid-palate is slightly more reticent, pretty and floral, making this more medium bodied overall, but there is lovely tension and freshness on the super long finish.
Serving temperature: 10-12°C
Hard cheese, aperitif
Enjoy at this young age or cellar for future enjoyment as the wine matures. Sip on its own as an aperitif, serve with fruit based desserts or hard cheeses or enjoy this mouth watering wine on its own instead of a dessert.
