Presented as a numbered wooden case direct from the château, it is a rare collector’s release and a true expression of Sauternes at its most revered. Both vintages earned perfect 100-point scores from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, underlining their extraordinary pedigree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Yquem typically shows a luminous golden to amber hue, with remarkable brightness even in youth. The bouquet is intensely layered and precise, often opening with apricot, candied citrus, dried pineapple, honey, caramel and crème brûlée, followed by more nuanced notes of spice, saffron, mushroom and toasted almonds as it develops.\n\nThe palate is rich and concentrated, yet never heavy, with the sweetness held in perfect balance by vibrant acidity. The 2009 is often praised for its exuberant fruit and incredible length, while the 2015 shows striking freshness, texture and aromatic complexity. Both vintages have immense aging potential and can continue evolving beautifully for decades, gaining further depth and nuance over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau d’Yquem is produced in Sauternes, Bordeaux, from predominantly Sémillon with a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc, grown in a terroir uniquely suited to noble rot. The estate’s elevated position and the morning mists of the region encourage botrytis cinerea, which concentrates the grapes and gives the wine its signature intensity. Harvesting is done by painstaking successive pickings, selecting only perfectly botrytized berries, before careful vinification and élevage that preserve purity, freshness and extraordinary complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe slightly chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, to bring out both the richness and the freshness of the wine. It pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, tarte tatin, and delicately sweet pastries, but it can also be stunning on its own as a contemplative wine. Decanting is generally not necessary, though older bottles may benefit from a gentle aeration if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau d’Yquem is the most famous estate in Sauternes and the only château in the region to have been awarded Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. With over 400 years of history, it has long been considered the benchmark for great sweet wine, admired for its precision, longevity and balance. Today, its name remains synonymous with excellence, and bottles from top vintages are among the most sought-after dessert wines in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau d'Yquem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252325830993,"sku":"FW-894","price":2007.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/Collectiond_Yquem3x2009og3x2015.png?v=1783444111","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/collection-dyquem-3-x-2009-og-3-x-2015-375cl","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
