CHATEAU D'YQUEM, 2002

SAUTERNES

"Magnificent aromas of apple, vanilla, and honey, with just the right touch of new oak. Full-bodied, semi-sweet, with lovely notes of pineapple and honey. Long and refined. A beautifully silky and balanced Sauternes. Plenty of intensity and remarkable harmony. Unmatched in this vintage." - James Suckling

Histoire et 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.
