Why shop with us?
Château d’Yquem 2015 is a remarkable Sauternes from Bordeaux’s only estate to hold the 1855 classification’s Premier Cru Supérieur status. Known for its concentration and poise, this vintage balances luscious sweetness with lively freshness.
Tasting Notes
Golden in appearance, it opens with aromas of apricot, citrus, honey and tropical fruit, accented by saffron, marzipan and delicate spice. The palate is rich and concentrated, yet bright acidity keeps the sweetness precise and harmonious.
Enjoy it now for its layered fruit and freshness, or cellar it to allow further complexity to develop. Château d’Yquem is renowned for its ability to age gracefully over many years.
Production
Sauternes’ warm, misty conditions encourage the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which concentrates the grapes while preserving their acidity. Yquem’s wines are typically made from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, with grapes picked by hand in successive passes to select berries at the right stage of ripeness and botrytis. The specific vineyard and harvest details for the 2015 vintage are not provided.
Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, around 10–12°C, with foie gras, blue cheese or fruit-based desserts; it is also rewarding on its own. Decanting is not essential for a young bottle, though a brief airing can help it open in the glass.
