Regarded as the best sweet wine in the world, Château d’Yquem is the 1st Classified Growth of Sauternes wines.
Located south of Bordeaux, the castle’s vineyard covers 113 hectares and is cultivated in a traditional way. A vine is needed to produce a glass of Yquem!
This 2018 vintage Château d’Yquem is conducted in organic farming.
Despite the unpredictable weather, the vintage was a tremendous success!
In 2018, winegrowers played an essential role, meticulously caring for the vines right until the harvest, before noble rot waved its magic wand in late October, rewarding all their efforts.
Bouquet: Fruit infusion scent, rich in honey and fresh peach
Palate: Notes of honey and orange, well balanced, rich in sweet flavors.
Food pairing: Fish and Seafood
Tasting Note
97PTS, jamessuckling.com
An extremely polished and refined d’Yquem with lightly cooked peaches and mangos and an overlay of vanilla and cream with some lemon meringue. Orange peel, too. What is striking is the texture, which is creamy and so fine. The tannins give the wine energy and beauty. The finish is extremely long and impressive. So clean and refined. Not heavy at all, but vivid and clean as crystal. Goes on for minutes. Elegance with stature is a good description. Drinkable now, but better in 2023 and onwards.
