Château d’Yquem 1978 is a rare sweet white wine from the Sauternes appellation in Bordeaux, France. This blend comprises predominantly Sémillon, with a smaller portion of Sauvignon Blanc, reaching an alcohol level of 13.5%. The vintage benefited from a warm, dry autumn, which facilitated optimal botrytis cinerea development, contributing to the wine`s complexity. Aged for over three years in 100% new French oak barrels, this vintage exhibits a deep golden hue, with aromas of dried apricots, honeyed oranges, and beeswax, complemented by a vibrant acidity that offsets the high residual sugar. This release highlights the estate`s finesse and mastery in crafting balanced wines, reflective of the 1978 growing conditions.
