The Château d’Yquem 2018, in a 0.375L bottle, is the pinnacle of Sauternes, crafted from botrytized Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. This 2018 vintage displays a radiant gold hue and an opulent nose of honey, candied orange, dried apricot, and exotic spices, with hints of saffron and minerality. On the palate, it is extraordinarily rich and harmonious, with concentrated sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of mango, pineapple, and botrytis-driven complexity. The finish is exceptionally long and refined, with a chalky mineral backbone. This wine reflects d’Yquem’s legendary status as the world’s finest sweet wine. Perfect with fruit-based desserts, foie gras, or blue cheeses, it offers an unparalleled experience. With significant aging potential, it will evolve over the next 20-30 years, making it a collector’s masterpiece.
