Château d’Yquem 2019 is an exceptional, golden-yellow Sauternes with a complex nose of pear pie, pineapple, honey, saffron and citrus. This vintage is elegant, lively and perfectly balanced by a fresh acidity, so it never becomes “sticky”. The wine offers a long, decadent finish with notes of caramel and dried fruit. Features and Details: Class: Only Premier Cru Supérieur in Sauternes. Taste profile: Intense, lush, fresh and balanced, with a ‘digestible’ style. Flavours: Tropical fruit, candied apricot, vanilla, flowers and subtle botrytis. Grapes: Blend of Sémillon (approx. 75-80%) and Sauvignon Blanc (20-25%). Storage potential: Can mature for decades. Food combination: Excellent with foie gras, blue cheeses and fruit cakes. The 2019 vintage is seen as a dream wine with an impressive depth and freshness.
