"The greatest young Yquem I have ever tasted in bottle. Yellow, with a golden hue and almost a green tint. Intense aromas of botrytis, spices, and blanched almonds evolve into notes of honey, maple syrup, dried apricot, and pineapple. Full-bodied, sweet, thick, and powerful, with layers of fruit and a lively, bright finish. It envelops the palate while remaining exhilarating. So balanced and refined, showcasing the pedigree that only this Sauternes estate can offer." - James Suckling

History and anecdotes

The Château d’Yquem is located on the left bank of the Garonne. A unique terroir that was classified as Premier Cru Supérieur of Sauternes and Barsac in 1855, the first vines were planted in the 16th century. The property remained within the Lur-Saluces family for more than 4 centuries. Since 1999, Bernard Arnault has been the main shareholder.
