Chateau d'Yquem 2018 - 375 ml

Château d’Yquem is an extraordinary place, at the very heart of Sauternes, with a hundred hectares of vineyards are planted on a mosaic of different soils. Through a sublimation process, the grapes reach a level a richness in taste and aromas that is simply unique in the world. Yquem preciously protects its selective harvesting secret, carried out by a team of devoted highly experienced local pickers, who have received their ancestral knowledge from the generations that came before them.

The robe presents a magnificent bright gold color, with pale reflections. The nose blends harmony and finesse, revealing notes of yellow fruits, white flowers, spices and fine paste. The mouth follows the same register of elegance, with a suave attack that gives way to delicious flavors of exotic fruits, quince and vanilla wood. Evolving with freshness and generosity, it is subtly sweet but without being exuberant, gracefully ending on a long and very complex finish.

Chateau d'Yquem is best enjoyed with refined dishes, such as foie gras pan-fried with gingerbread, scallops fried in vanilla and lemon butter, cod fillet in sauce, honey-glazed pork loin, or duck in orange sauce.

Enjoy it with blue-veined cheeses such as Roquefort, Bleu d'Auvergne, Caesar Regal or Fourme d'Ambert.

For dessert, finish it off with a Perouges cake, a citrus sabayon or an apricot bavarois.
