Bordeaux - Sauternes - 1er Cru ClasséCru Classé - Sweet wine -
The 2016 vintage of Château d'Yquem is a delicately sweet wine offering the complexity of an aromatic palette full of nuances and purity. The freshness of notes of white fruits and floral scents gives way to the delicacy of exotic fruit scents reminiscent of mango, vanilla and beeswax. On the palate,
Château d'Yquem 2016 offers the pleasure of a complex liqueur mouthfeel, revealing tasty sensations with notes of exotic fruits, candied fruits, and a hint of caramel. Brilliant with purity and elegance, the texture on the palate retains that finesse that makes up the Yquem style, thanks to the beautiful acidity, vibrant with energy that stretches its length in the persistence of a final radiant with freshness. A superb, complex and distinguished Château d'Yquem promising the evolution specific to the great Sauternes.
Regarded as the best sweet wine in the world, Château d'Yquem is the 1st Classified Growth of Sauternes wines.
Located south of Bordeaux, the castle's vineyard covers 113 hectares and is cultivated in a traditional way. A vine is needed to produce a glass of Yquem!

Wine Advocate-Parker:
Containing 135 grams per liter of residual sugar, the pale lemon-gold colored 2016 d'Yquem leaps from the glass with honeyed apricots, pineapple, green mango, crushed rocks, candied ginger, coriander seed and citrus peel with hints of orange blossom. The palate is very tightly wound, vibrant and refreshing with layer upon layer of minerals and spices, finishing with epic poise and persistence.
The advice of 12bouteilles: This Sauternes wine can be appreciated as young as in a few years.
