The Château d'Yquem 2001, a jewel of Sauternes, reveals the elegance of the gravelly soils of Bordeaux. This sweet white wine, made from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, captivates with its notes of honey and candied citrus, with an unctuous and mineral palate. Perfect with foie gras or desserts, it improves until 2070.

Tasting notes for Château d'Yquem Yquem 2001
To the eye – A pale gold robe with green reflections, of crystalline clarity, announcing a texture that is both dense and silky.
On the nose – First, notes of candied mango and roasted apricot, followed by a touch of acacia honey, then a hint of roasted vanilla and a saline minerality reminiscent of sea spray.
On the palate – The attack is ample and velvety, carried by a lively acidity that balances the richness of candied fruits; the finish, of remarkable length, leaves a chalky impression and a saline persistence.
Serve at 10–12°C in a Bordeaux-style white wine glass to bring out its full complexity.
Vintage 2001
An exceptional vintage where noble rot reached a rare perfection, offering a balance between concentration and freshness.
- Aging potential: 75 years and more, to be stored in a cellar at a stable temperature (12–14°C) and away from light.
