Château d'Yquem

Sauternes 2006 375mL

Chateau d'Yquem is widely regarded as the best Botrytis Semillon in the world, and the only Sauternes to be given a Grand Cru classification in 1855. Always the epitome of true concentration, complexity and sheer class, d'Yquem's are sought after around the world. The 2006 Chateau d'Yquem is from a more difficult vintage that those on either side of it, but the wine has not suffered. All the trademark flavours of intense marmalade and vanilla are present in a wine that might be deemed at its peak a few years earlier than those in truly classic vintages.
