The Château d'Yquem 1990, Premier Cru Supérieur of Sauternes, is a sweet white wine with aromas of honey, roasted apricot and vanilla, shaped by 36 months in oak barrels. Its palate, rich and mineral, combines sweetness and freshness. To be enjoyed until 2050 with foie gras or fruity desserts.
Château d'Yquem
Nestled in the heart of Sauternes, this legendary estate has embodied the excellence of sweet wines since the 16th century.
- Terroir : From the clay-limestone and gravelly hillsides of the Sauternes Appellation, bathed by the morning mists of the Garonne, which promote the development of noble rot.
- Vinification : A rigorous parcel selection and patient aging in French oak barrels, for wines of rare complexity and longevity.
Tasting notes for Château d'Yquem Yquem 1990
To the eye – A golden robe with amber reflections, dense and luminous, like liquid honey captured in the glass.
On the nose – First, fresh aromas of candied citrus and acacia blossoms, then deeper notes of roasted figs, salted butter caramel and vanilla, lifted by a mineral hint of flint.
On the palate – A silky and unctuous texture, carried by a lively acidity that balances the sweetness, while nuances of exotic fruits and gentle spices extend into a saline and remarkably long finish.
Serve at 10–12°C in a Bordeaux-style white wine glass to reveal its full complexity.
Vintage 1990
A sunny and generous vintage, where the ripeness of the grapes allowed for a rare concentration and harmony to be achieved.
- Aging potential : To be cellared until 2050 and beyond, in a cellar at a stable temperature (12–14°C) and away from light.
