Yquem Half 2016

HED96300 37.5cl 14%
The 2016 Château Yquem is a blend of 75% Sémillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc. Its perfumed nose is infused with notes of white chocolate, chamomile, and white tea complementing the honeyed fruit. The medium-bodied palate features a viscous opening, a delicate thread of acidity, and hints of ginger and lemongrass that add vibrancy to the finish. The wine has definitely gained more complexity in recent years and continues to evolve.

Chateau d`Yquem

Chateau d`Yquem

Considered by many to be the peak of fine sweet wine, Château d'Yquem manage around over 100 hectares of vineyards in Sauternes planted with a mixture of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are only picked when the so-called 'noble rot' has fully taken hold and yields are, as a result, meagre - it's said that each vine at d'Yquem produces a single glass of wine.

Fermentation takes place in 100% new oak and the wine is left to mature for up to three years before release. Characterised by an exotic richness in youth, the wine has the ability to age for untold decades. A second wine 'Y de Yquem' is produced in select vintages, a dry counterpart to the Grand Vin.
