Tasting Notes
From the legendary Premier Cru Supérieur estate, the 2017 Château d’Yquem is a strikingly pure and powerful expression of this iconic Sauternes. Brilliant golden in hue, it bursts from the glass with intense aromas of fresh pineapple, passion fruit, honeyed apricots, and citrus blossom, interwoven with hints of ginger, vanilla bean, and toasted brioche. The palate is rich and concentrated, yet beautifully lifted by vibrant acidity, creating a sense of both depth and energy. The finish is long, radiant, and finely detailed—hallmarks of a vintage shaped by ideal botrytis conditions. A stunning wine with decades of evolution ahead.
Pairs well with
Foie gras, blue cheese, tarte tatin, roast duck with orange glaze, and lobster.
