Produced only from carefully botrytized Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, it holds the unique distinction of being the only wine in Bordeaux’s 1855 classification to receive Premier Cru Supérieur status.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Château d’Yquem 2015 shows a luminous golden colour with a rich, almost honeyed sheen. The nose is beautifully layered, opening with apricot, candied citrus, white flowers, saffron, and subtle toasted notes, all lifted by the freshness that keeps the wine vibrant rather than heavy.\n\nOn the palate, it is opulent yet precise, with lush sweetness balanced by bright acidity and a long, finely textured finish. Expect flavours of marmalade, tropical fruit, vanilla, and beeswax, with the kind of depth and persistence that promises excellent ageing potential for decades, and likely far beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau d’Yquem is grown on the highest hill in Sauternes, where the vineyard’s exposure, humidity, and morning mists create ideal conditions for botrytis cinerea, or noble rot. The wine is made from hand-selected, fully botrytized grapes, with extremely low yields and multiple pickings to harvest only the best fruit at perfect concentration. Fermentation and élevage are carried out with great care to preserve balance, complexity, and the wine’s signature purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe Château d’Yquem slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. It is superb with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tarts, poached stone fruit, or simply on its own as a contemplative dessert wine; decanting is generally not necessary, though older bottles may benefit from a gentle decant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau d’Yquem is one of Bordeaux’s most revered estates, with a history stretching back more than four centuries. Its reputation was cemented by the 1855 classification, when it became the only Sauternes estate awarded Premier Cru Supérieur, a status that still sets it apart today. Despite setbacks such as phylloxera, the château has remained an icon of Sauternes and a global reference point for noble sweet wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau d'Yquem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252039831889,"sku":"FW-4660","price":401.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/Chateaud_YquemNV37_5CL.png?v=1783442880","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/chateau-dyquem-2015-375cl","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
