The Château d'Yquem 1999, a jewel of Sauternes, comes from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc cultivated on gravelly slopes. This sweet wine combines honey, apricot and tropical fruits with an unctuous texture and a mineral freshness. Ideal with foie gras or blue cheeses, it improves with time.
Château d'Yquem
Nestled in the heart of Sauternes, this legendary estate has embodied viticultural excellence for more than four centuries, combining family heritage and absolute mastery of the terroir.
- Terroir : 113 hectares of vines set on gravel and pebble soils, bathed by a unique microclimate conducive to noble rot, within the Sauternes appellation.
- Vinification : Rigorous parcel selection, manual harvesting in successive tries, and patient aging for sweet wines of unmatched precision.
Tasting notes for Château d'Yquem Yquem 1999
To the eye – A golden robe with amber highlights, dense and luminous, like liquid honey captured in the glass, revealing an unctuous texture from the very first glance.
On the nose – An enchanting bouquet where candied apricot, ripe mango and candied citrus zests intermingle, before a hint of beeswax and a touch of salinity underscore the mineral complexity of the terroir.
On the palate – A silky, almost caressing attack, where the sweetness of the fruit mingles with a lively, taut acidity, carried by notes of gingerbread and vanilla, leading to a finish of remarkable saline and chalky length, of rare elegance.
Serve at 8-10°C in a Bordeaux-style white wine glass, to fully release its aromas.
Vintage 1999
A vintage in which the concentration of the grapes, favored by a hot and dry summer, gave birth to a wine of remarkable harmony, combining power and finesse.
- Aging potential : To be kept for another 20 to 30 years in a cool cellar (12-14°C), away from light, to allow its deepest nuances to fully blossom.
