Tasting Notes
From the legendary Premier Cru Supérieur estate, the 2015 Château d’Yquem is a benchmark vintage—rich, poised, and extraordinarily complex. Golden and luminous in the glass, the wine opens with waves of ripe apricot, candied orange peel, and acacia honey, followed by hints of ginger, crème brûlée, and saffron. The palate is opulent yet perfectly balanced by fresh acidity, delivering a creamy texture that glides into a layered, endlessly persistent finish. This is a wine of immense structure and grace that will evolve beautifully for decades.

Pairs well with
Foie gras, blue cheese, tarte tatin, roast duck with orange glaze, and lobster.
