Chateau d'Yquem - Sauternes No. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 (release 2014-2022) - 9*0,75l

A rare insider’s cuvée from Château d’Yquem, this Sauternes bottling was created exclusively for trusted friends and valued members of the LVMH/Yquem circle rather than for open commercial release. Unlike the estate’s classic vintage-driven wine, it is built from a blend of multiple harvests to deliver a more consistent, approachable style with added freshness—an unusually private expression from one of Bordeaux’s most legendary names.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect the deep golden hue associated with top Sauternes, often with a luminous, polished brightness. The aromatics are typically generous and layered, suggesting honeyed citrus, ripe stone fruit, candied pineapple, saffron, vanilla, and delicate floral notes, all supported by the unmistakable botrytis character that gives Yquem its signature complexity. On the palate, the wine is usually rich and silky, but with a lively freshness that keeps the sweetness beautifully in check. The blend of several vintages contributes both balance and a more immediately open texture, making it accessible now while still offering the depth and structure to age gracefully for years in bottle.

Production
Produced in Sauternes, Bordeaux, this special cuvée draws on multiple harvests to create a stable house style rather than a single-vintage statement. The blend changes from release to release, combining selected lots from different years to balance richness, freshness, and aromatic precision, while retaining the estate’s hallmark botrytized sweetness and meticulous cellar craft.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and consider decanting only if the wine appears especially closed on opening. It is a superb match for foie gras, blue cheese, tarte Tatin, peach or apricot desserts, and refined savory dishes with a touch of sweetness such as roast chicken with honey glaze or Asian cuisine with gentle spice.

Producer
Château d’Yquem is the most celebrated estate in Sauternes and one of the great names of Bordeaux, long revered for producing wines of extraordinary concentration, purity, and longevity. Now under the ownership of LVMH, the estate continues to stand at the pinnacle of sweet wine production, and this private cuvée reflects that same commitment to precision and prestige in a more exclusive, cellar-made form.
