Sommelier's Note

Chateau d'Yquem's 2016 Sauternes is an exquisite demonstration of the unique terroir and meticulous craftsmanship that define this illustrious estate. Hailing from the renowned Bordeaux region, this vin liquoreux captivates with its opulent golden hue and sumptuous aromas. The nose reveals a tantalizing bouquet of candied citrus fruits, ripe apricots, and fragrant honey, beautifully interlaced with hints of vanilla and the subtle spice of botrytis. Each swirl in the glass releases a sensory experience, promising the indulgence that lies within every drop. Upon tasting, the wine's luscious sweetness envelops the palate, balanced elegantly by refreshing acidity. The mouthfeel is silky and luxurious, with flavors that echo the richness of the nose: think of peach preserves, warm tarte Tatin, and gentle whispers of caramel. This Sauternes stands as a testament to the artistry of Chateau d'Yquem – an elixir that embodies both grandeur and finesse, making it a highly coveted choice for any discerning collector or connoisseur. The finish is long and persisting, leaving an indelible mark of pleasure that beckons you to savor each moment.
