The Château d'Yquem 1999, grand cru from Sauternes, comes from the clay-limestone hillsides of Bordeaux. A blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, it offers notes of honey and apricot after 36 months in oak barrels. The palate, dense and fresh, combines crème caramel and candied fruits. Ideal with foie gras, to enjoy until 2053.
Château d'Yquem
A treasure of Sauternes, this mythical estate has embodied the excellence of sweet wines since the 16th century.
- Terroir: Gravelly and clay-limestone soils of the Sauternes appellation, bathed by the Ciron and the Garonne, creating an ideal microclimate for noble rot.
- Vinification: Manual harvesting through successive tries, patient aging in new oak barrels to reveal an unmatched complexity.
Tasting notes for Château d'Yquem Yquem 1999
To the eye – A golden robe with amber reflections, dense and luminous, like liquid honey captured in the glass, offering an almost viscous texture.
On the nose – First, fresh aromas of apricot and white peach, followed by deeper notes of candied fruits, acacia honey and dried flowers, enhanced by a saline touch and a hint of roasted cinnamon.
On the palate – A silky and generous attack, where the richness of Sémillon blends with the vivacity of Sauvignon Blanc, with a precise acidity that carries a chalky minerality and a long finish, marked by nuances of crème brûlée and vanilla.
Serve at 10–12°C in a Bordeaux-style white wine glass to bring out its full complexity.
Vintage 1999
A vintage where the balance between sweetness and freshness is expressed with a rare elegance, typical of great Sauternes.
- Aging potential: To be enjoyed until 2053, provided it is stored in a cellar at a stable temperature (12–14°C) and away from light.
