The undisputed king of Sauternes, Château d’Yquem is the only estate in Bordeaux to hold the prestigious Premier Cru Supérieur classification. Celebrated for its extraordinary richness, complexity and remarkable longevity, its wines marry luscious honeyed fruit with exquisite freshness and elegance. A truly exceptional wine, and one of the few great bottles that deserves a place in every serious wine lover’s cellar – whether to savour now or treasure for years to come.

What do the critics think?
“Pale gold. Knockout aromas of creme brulee, coconut, vanilla bean, honey and orange peel. Lush and seductively silky in the mouth; its creamy, seamless texture makes it seem deceptively accessible today but sound acid structure should keep it going for 20 years or more. Not hugely sweet or tropical but very complex and fine. Firm, hazelnutty finish offers great length, if not quite the grip of the '89.”
Neal Martin, vinous.com, 95 pts.
