Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes No. 8 - 0,75l

Chateau d’Yquem Sauternes No. 8 is a rare, non-commercial special bottling from one of Bordeaux’s most legendary estates. Produced only for trusted friends and valued associates of LVMH, it offers the unmistakable Yquem character in a more approachable, harmonized style thanks to its multi-vintage blend.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a luminous golden hue that speaks to its richness and maturity. The nose is expected to be generous and layered, with classic Sauternes notes of honey, apricot, candied citrus, ripe stone fruit, and a subtle touch of spice and floral lift. On the palate, Chateau d’Yquem Sauternes No. 8 is designed for balance rather than vintage-driven extremes, combining sweetness with a refreshing backbone that keeps the wine lively and elegant. The texture is silky and refined, with a long, clean finish; it should drink beautifully now and has the structure to hold well over time.

Production
This special cuvée is composed from several vintages rather than a single harvest, with No. 8 blending four years from 2016 to 2020 to achieve a consistent house style. Made in Sauternes, Bordeaux, the wine reflects the estate’s exceptional terroir, where morning mists and Botrytis-friendly conditions help shape the region’s famed sweet wines; the production approach emphasizes careful selection and blending to deliver freshness, depth, and continuity.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, to keep the sweetness lifted and the acidity vibrant. It pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, tarte Tatin, or simply enjoyed on its own; decanting is generally not necessary, though a brief opening can help the aromas expand.

Producer
Chateau d’Yquem is the benchmark estate of Sauternes and one of the most celebrated names in the world of fine wine. Long associated with exceptional quality, rarity, and longevity, it holds a unique place in Bordeaux history and remains a symbol of luxury and craftsmanship under the ownership of LVMH.
