Château d’Yquem 2006 is a rich and concentrated Sauternes sweet wine consisting of 75% Sémillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc. Now reaching its 20th year, the wine has evolved into a light amber hue with golden glints. The nose displays a complex mix of dried apricots, orange marmalade and beeswax, alongside secondary notes of toasted almonds and crème brûlée. On the palate, the 2006 remains vibrant due to its high acidity, which balances the unctuous honeyed fruit. The finish is long and savoury, showing a subtle hint of saffron and spice. Available here in magnum.

A monumental bottle of Sauternes despite a moderate level of residual sugar , the 2006 d`Yquem displays a singular, distinctive and elegant bouquet with aromas of thyme, sage, curry, baked pineapple and oregano. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it’s rich and concentrated, with superb acidity on the mid-palate as well as freshness, tension and crystalline texture, concluding on an endless, ethereal finish with a racy bitterness. Simply stunning! - Yohan Castaing

The 2006 Yquem is initially tightly-wound on the nose before revealing enticing scents of mandarin, dried honey, quince and just a very slight adhesive scent. This is well-defined yet certainly demands more coaxing than its peers. The palate is well-balanced with fine delineation, a caressing viscous texture with desiccated orange peel and a touch of bitter lemon that counterbalances the richness. I noticed this 2006 becoming spicier with aeration. Excellent. Tasted at the Yquem dinner at Rick Stein's restaurant in Barnes. Neal Martin1st April 2022
