Château d’Yquem Sauternes 2010 – 375ml

Description

Château d`Yquem, often described as the greatest sweet wine in the world and the only Sauternes First Growth of Bordeaux. Few wines in the world have produced consistently noble quality for
more than 4 centuries.  Established in 1593, the property consists of a 110-hectare vineyard planted with 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The wines are created from botrytized fruit that is picked by hand by up to 150 harvesters.

In the Bordeaux Classification of 1855, Château d’Yquem was given the unique and unsurpassable rank of Premier Cru Supérieur, ahead of all other Sauternes, indicating its perceived superiority
and ability to command by far the highest prices.

The nose delights with soft white fruits and pretty, creamy but fresh notes. The palate manages to be both refined and powerful. It features vibrant freshness, candied apricot, and citrus peel, offering a sugar concentration of 141 g/l.
