What to Expect

The great sweet wines of Bordeaux, Sauternes, are among the most decadent, complex and simply enjoyable wines. Based on a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc that has been infected with the "noble rot", Botrytis Cinerea, Sauternes are rich, honied wines bursting with notes of vanilla, coconut, dried apricots and subtle spice tones. They are usually very sweet and rich with a soft quality to them that makes them appealing in their youth yet they can age and improve for decades. The neighboring village of Barsac frequently makes wines comparable to those of Sauternes.

Winemakers Notes

Nestled in the southeasy of Bordeaux, Château d’Yquem is the world’s most sought after dessert wine – the benchmark by which all other dessert wines are judged.

This is silky and beautifully creamy in the mouth. Medium-bodied, there's nothing heavy or big here, just a sense of harmony. So ethereal, it's the sort of wine one could drink almost every night.--Yquem vertical. Drink now through 2030. (PM) Wine Spectator. A Sauternes Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 1976 Chateau d'Yquem 1500ml

Decanter

Rating: 0/5 - As reviewed by Decanter Medium gold; rich honeyed botrytis nose, peaches and cream, immensely fruity but elegant too; sweet, intense, very concentrated, spicy, fine acidity, delicious fruit, a touch raisiny but by no means blowsy; very good length.
