Half Bottle Château d'Yquem - 1er Cru Classé Supérieur - Sauternes - White Wine 2023 (375ml)

The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

Château d'Yquem 2023 rounds off a legendary trilogy alongside the 2021 and 2022 vintages, with a balance that the estate itself describes as ‘divine'. The nose, complex and refined, blends cooked rhubarb, lilac blossoms, citrus and notes of honey and apricot. On the palate, the texture is velvety and vibrant, carried by flavours of plum and mandarin marmalade. The sugar content, at 153 g/l—one of the highest levels ever achieved by the estate—remains remarkably light, enhanced by crisp acidity and an umami sensation that caresses the palate. The finish, long and enveloped in vanilla and white chocolate, concludes with an almost spellbinding elegance.
