The wine starts out elegant and lively. Full-bodied and concentrated, it coats the palate, revealing fine bitter notes reminiscent of grapefruit ziste, mingled with delicate hints of mandarin orange.

60% Sauvignon Blanc & 40% Semillon. Lime and spicy pear dance gracefully with notes of crushed stone, creating a symphony of scents that awaken the senses and dried limes lend a tangy and zesty quality, while a unique minerality adds a distinctive touch on the pallet.

Chateau d'Yquem

Château d’Yquem has always been prized by wealthy wine lovers and has a long and interesting history starting in the Middle Ages when the estate belonged to the King of England.

Some characteristics for which Château d'Yquem are known for is their complexity, concentration, sweetness and longetivity. A bottle will keep for a century or more if properly looked after. In this time, the fruity overtones will gradually fade and combine with more complex secondary and tertiary flavours. In 1996, wine expert Robert Parker scored the wine a perfect 100 points.

The vineyard has 126 hectares in the Sauternes appellation, but only 100 hectares are in production at any time. Roughly 20 hectares are held in reserve each year, as grapes from newly planted vines are not worthy of the chateau name for five to seven years. In a poor vintage, it is sold anonymously. The vines consist of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon blanc, though the proportions are thought to be more equal in the final wine. On average, 65,000 bottles are produced every year.
