Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes No. 6 - 0,75l

Chateau d’Yquem Sauternes No. 6 is a rare, non-commercial special cuvée from one of Bordeaux’s most legendary estates. Created only for close friends and valued insiders of LVMH, it offers the unmistakable Yquem signature in a more approachable, consistently styled form thanks to a blend of multiple vintages.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a brilliant golden hue with luminous depth and a silky, polished texture. The bouquet is expressive and refined, with layers of ripe apricot, candied citrus, honey, saffron, and a subtle floral lift, all framed by Yquem’s classic botrytis complexity. On the palate, the wine is rich yet remarkably fresh, balancing sweetness with vibrant acidity and a clean, elegant finish. Expect notes of stone fruit, orange zest, dried pineapple, and toasted spice, with a long, graceful aftertaste. While delicious now, it should continue to hold beautifully for several years thanks to the estate’s exceptional structure and balance.

Production
Sourced from the Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux, this cuvée reflects the noble terroir that has made Chateau d’Yquem world-famous: clay-limestone and gravelly soils, morning mists, and ideal conditions for botrytis cinerea. Unlike the estate’s vintage-specific grand vin, No. 6 is assembled from several years to achieve a steady house style and a more accessible freshness, with careful selection and blending preserving the complexity and depth associated with Yquem.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic complexity. It pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tarts, citrus desserts, or even spicy Asian cuisine; decanting is usually not necessary, but a short aeration can help if served young or especially chilled.

Producer
Chateau d’Yquem is the benchmark estate of Sauternes and one of the most celebrated sweet-wine producers in the world, with a history stretching back centuries. Owned by LVMH, the château is renowned for its uncompromising standards, legendary longevity, and status as the only Sauternes estate classified as Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 classification, a distinction that underscores its unique place in wine history.
