Description

Château d’Yquem 2009 is a richly concentrated Sauternes, distinguished by the intense botrytis character known as *rôti* and remarkable depth. From the estate recognised as Bordeaux’s sole Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 Classification, it is a landmark sweet wine built to develop over many years.

Tasting Notes
The bouquet is powerful and complex, with pineapple, apricot, orchard fruit, flowers, saffron and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dense, full-bodied and layered, balanced by a crystalline texture and hints of white truffle.

Production
The estate’s vineyards in Sauternes benefit from the region’s warm, humid autumn conditions, which encourage noble rot, or *Botrytis cinerea*, to concentrate the grapes while adding complexity. The fruit is typically gathered by hand in successive selective passes, with pickers choosing only berries affected by noble rot. The 2009 contains 155 grams of residual sugar per litre; the precise blend and vintage-specific vinification details are not provided here.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled, around 10–12°C, with foie gras, blue cheese or fruit-based desserts; it can also be enjoyed on its own. Decanting is optional: a young bottle may benefit from a little time in the glass, while a mature bottle should be opened and handled gently. Its concentration and structure suggest considerable potential for further ageing.

Producer
Château d’Yquem is a historic Sauternes estate renowned for its botrytised sweet wines. Its exceptional standing was formalised in 1855, when it alone received the designation Premier Cru Supérieur in the Bordeaux classification—a distinction that remains central to its reputation.
