The Château d'Yquem 2000, Premier Cru Supérieur of Sauternes, is a sweet wine made from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc touched by noble rot. Its aromas of honey and candied apricot are balanced by a lively acidity. Perfect through 2050, it pairs beautifully with foie gras or blue cheeses.
Château d'Yquem
A jewel of Sauternes, this legendary estate has embodied Bordeaux viticultural excellence since the 16th century.
- Terroir: Gravelly and clay-limestone soils of the Sauternes appellation, bathed in the morning mist of the Garonne, ideal for the development of noble rot.
- Vinification: Rigorous plot selection, manual harvesting in successive tries, barrel aging for unmatched aromatic complexity.
Tasting notes for Château d'Yquem Yquem 2000
To the eye – A golden robe with amber reflections, 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, orange blossom and candied citrus zests intertwine, before a hint of saffron and a chalky minerality come to anchor the tasting in a saline depth.
On the palate – The palate is of silky elegance, carried by a lively acidity that balances the richness of residual sugar, while a stony minerality and an endlessly long finish leave an impression of purity and tension.
Serve between 8 and 10°C in a Bordeaux-style white wine glass to release its full complexity.
Vintage 2000
A sun-drenched vintage, marked by a rare balance between grape ripeness and bright acidity, offering an ideal structure for harmonious aging.
- Aging potential: To be enjoyed today or cellared until 2050 in a cellar with controlled temperature and humidity.
