2004 Chateau d'Yquem 0,75 Liter

The Château d’Yquem 2004 is a legendary sweet white wine from France’s Sauternes region, crafted by Château d’Yquem from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes affected by noble rot. This 2004 vintage displays a deep amber hue and an ethereal nose of dried apricot, honey, and candied orange, with hints of caramel, spice, and subtle minerality. The palate is intensely concentrated, with profound sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering a long, decadent finish with notes of toffee and dried fruit. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, this wine reflects the clay and gravel-rich terroir of Sauternes. Perfect with fruit-based desserts, blue cheeses, or foie gras, it offers a luxurious dining experience. At over two decades old, it is at its peak, showcasing mature, honeyed complexity, and is best enjoyed now. This d’Yquem is a collector’s treasure, embodying the estate’s unrivaled reputation for crafting the world’s finest sweet wines with unparalleled depth and elegance.
