Château d’ Yquem 2008 Sweet Sauternes - Bordeaux White C02

The reputation of Château d'Yquem has been built over the last 400 years with an apotheosis in 1855 when it was elevated to the rank of Premier Cru Classé Supérieur in the official classification ordered by Emperor Napoleon III for the Universal Exhibition of Paris. The only name to have reached this step, Yquem unquestionably sits among the legends of great wines.

Intense, the nose displays a precision and aromatic purity which is the prerogative of the Château d'Yquem style. Full of nuances, the bouquet opens with concentrated notes and candied fruits. Then comes the delicious notes of honey followed by notes of spices and quince.

Energetic, the palate is precise, delicate, ample and concentrated. A model of harmony, the balance between the sweetness, acidity and alcohol of the wine presents this fullness worthy of the greatest Sauternes. The palate persists, stretching out to a remarkably pure finish. A dazzling Château d'Yquem in an exceptional 7 vintage.
