Château d’Yquem 2003, a Premier Cru Supérieur from Sauternes, is made from botrytized Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grown on clay-limestone soils. Aged 30 months in oak barrels, it combines peach, pineapple and vanilla with a silky, mineral palate. Enjoy with foie gras or blue cheese through 2053.
A historic Sauternes estate, Château d'Yquem has embodied excellence in sweet wines for more than four centuries.
- Terroir: Clay-limestone and gravel soils in the Sauternes appellation, with a temperate oceanic climate ideal for the development of noble rot.
- Winemaking: Rigorous selection of botrytized berries, slow fermentation in new oak barrels and patient aging to reveal unique aromatic complexity.
Tasting notes for Château d'Yquem 2003
Appearance – Golden color with amber highlights, dense and luminous, suggesting a luscious, generous texture.
Nose – Aromas of ripe peach and candied pineapple intertwine with deeper notes of toasted coconut, nutmeg and cinnamon, lifted by a saline touch and a hint of vanilla.
Palate – A silky, rich opening supported by lively acidity that balances the sweetness, while mineral and spicy nuances extend a remarkably long finish.
Serve at 12 °C in a Bordeaux-style white wine glass to bring out its aromas.
2003 vintage
An atypical vintage marked by intense summer heat and a harvest completed in a single pass, giving the wine rare richness and concentration.
- Aging potential: Keep through 2053 under optimal conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity and protection from light).
