The average age of the vines is over forty years, resulting in full and powerful aromas and flavors. The harvest is affected by noble rot, which causes the bunches to rot on the vines. This allows the bunches to build strength and increases the sugar content of the grapes. The harvest is a meticulous and demanding task, carried out by around eighty experts. Each grape is inspected and harvested by hand, ensuring that only the finest bunches are used in this wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Wood aging for the Chateau Coutet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOnce the golden juice is obtained, the wine is aged entirely in oak barrels. This period lasts a full eighteen months, giving it its distinctive flavor. This is primarily due to the type of wood and the proportion of new barrels used. New French barrels simply lend more elegance to the wines. The aroma reveals notes of white flowers, honey, citrus, and vanilla, as well as ginger and ripe pineapple. The palate reveals hints of spices, candied fruit, and a hint of exotic nectar.

The winery boasts a long history, reminiscent of a novel, as it features a wealth of events and colorful personalities spanning more than four centuries. Château d'Yquem was practically English. During the Middle Ages, the estate actually belonged to the King of England, who was also Duke of Aquitaine at the time. In 1453, southwestern France returned to the French crown under Charles VII and has remained French ever since. A century and a half later, in 1593, a descendant of a local noble family, Jacques Sauvage, took control of Yquem. But its history stretches back much further, to around 1826, when a new cellar was built, and the winery flourished. The international reputation was developed for Chateau d'Yquem, which is still known today as the very best dessert wine in the world.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe dry white wine of Château d'Yquem\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n With an annual production of 10,000 bottles, Y (pronounced \"ee-grek\" in French) is a rare wine. It is made from the same excellent terroir and vines as Château d'Yquem. While the work in the vineyard is just as meticulous, the grapes are picked and the wine is made differently.\n\n\n \nY was traditionally made at the end of the harvest, with the last bunches on the vines. These grapes, affected to varying degrees by Botrytis cinerea, but never exceeding 15% potential alcohol, resulted in a very unusual white wine. This explains why it has been produced in small quantities and irregularly since 1959. Y changed in 1996, but without compromising its unique character, to be more in tune with the times by showcasing the qualities of freshness and crispness—essential for a modern great white wine. In 2004, the decision was made to produce Y every year. It is therefore a conscious decision to harvest certain plots of Sauvignon Blanc at the beginning of the harvest, ensuring that perfectly ripe bunches are picked. These are supplemented with Sémillon grapes picked at that fleeting stage when the grapes have reached peak ripeness, botrytis has just appeared, and the skins have turned pink. This is precisely the moment when the tannins of this grape variety are soft enough to allow the aromatic potential of the best clay soil plots to come through.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eMuch attention for this Y de Château d'Yquem 2021\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The wine receives considerable attention during fermentation: light, precise pressing, temperature-controlled must racking, and alcoholic fermentation in a new, aesthetically pleasing, state-of-the-art barrel room reserved specifically for this wine. Fermentation and aging on the lees take place in barrels. Only a third of these are new, and the lees are regularly stirred (bâtonnage) for ten months. The final blend is made after tasting. It usually consists primarily of Sauvignon Blanc and a few batches of Sémillon.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Full and very powerful this Y de Château d'Yquem\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe wine is incredibly complex and truly a treat, starting from the moment you open the bottle. A powerful aroma of preserved lemon and grassy notes, along with hints of grapefruit, apple, and lime, is also noticeable. On the palate, it's a wine with considerable depth, with beautifully rounded tannins that can develop for years in bottle.","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775809884239,"sku":"11569","price":202.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/YdeChateaud_Yquem2022.webp?v=1777534586"},{"product_id":"mouton-cadet-blanc","title":"Mouton Cadet Blanc","description":"Some white wines remain a celebration!

Sauternes is only produced in the finest years. This bottle of Mouton Cadet Reserve Sauternes is therefore unique. The craftsmanship of Mouton Cadet has led our oenologists, for example, to place this Sauternes wine in their personal top ten. The aroma has a vibrant bouquet of caramel, pear, and smooth honey. A sultry touch of nougat, toast, and apricots is sure to bring a smile to your face. The palate is full-bodied: just as a Sauternes should be. A thick, creamy texture rolls over your tongue.

However, the magical phenomenon of botrytization is delicate and subject to numerous meteorological factors. If the weather is too dry, the noble rot is inhibited. And if it rains too much, the grapes no longer ripen. This can cause the entire harvest to be damaged and irreparably ruined. There are numerous risks, sometimes even causing the entire harvest to fail.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe impressive aroma and taste of Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n When the grapes are optimally ripe, they are harvested entirely by hand to create the wine's strength and suppleness. This is one of the most important tasks during the vinification process, carried out under the supervision of winemaker Antoine Depierre. The result is impressive. The aroma reveals abundant tropical fruit, vanilla, and ripe notes of yellow fruit. Take a moment to fully appreciate these aromas; you'll also notice hints of honey and white flowers. Thanks to the long oak aging, the taste is also overwhelming, very stylish and complex, with flavor impressions of fruit and warm notes of oak and vanilla. On the palate, this dessert wine is silky and opulent. A strong character is clearly evident, as is elegance and balance. The aftertaste of Château d'Yquem is legendary and tells a different story, one that lingers on and on...","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775843831887,"sku":"13551","price":499.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/chateau-d-yquem-sauternes-2019-0-75l_13551.webp?v=1771589144"},{"product_id":"kaiken-estate-sauvignon-semillon","title":"Kaiken Estate Sauvignon Semillon","description":"An attractive wine appears in the glass.

He used his savings to reunite his family, and in 1898, the López brothers rented land in Maipu to grow grapes and make their own wine. This was the beginning of Bodegas López. The first bottles were bottled and sold in 1927, and exported from 1930 onward, making Bodegas López one of the first Argentine wineries. The López brothers quickly developed their own unique wine style, which was well received by wine consumers. This increased demand, and the vineyards and cellar were expanded. Currently, Bodegas López has over 1,100 hectares of its own vineyards, some of which date back to 1915. The secret weapon of Bodegas López's unique style is the aging of the wine in their own cellar, usually in one of the 440 French oak barrels, or by aging bottles, some over 85 years old.\n\n\n \nThe Chardonnay and Semillon grapes are harvested entirely by hand.

Goldmine thus sits precisely at the intersection of the rugged Swartland landscape and the refined signature of Boekenhoutskloof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1340\" data-end=\"1367\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"2025\"\u003eBoekenhoutskloof Goldmine is a carefully crafted white blend, with Chenin Blanc as the backbone, complemented by Chardonnay, Semillon, and Viognier.

With 13% alcohol and a \"refined\" flavor profile, Goldmine is deliberately crafted as an energetic, gastronomic white wine within the Western Cape appellation.

The nose is intense and exciting, with ripe stone fruit, wild fennel, spicy notes, and a salty, mineral undertone that immediately evokes the granite and slate soils. The palate reveals concentrated yet refined fruit, with ripe stone fruit, wild herbs, and a distinct tension between ripeness and freshness. The structure is energetic and precise, with a dry, energetic length and a salty-mineral echo in the finish. Serve Goldmine preferably between 10 and 12°C. At the table, it pairs perfectly with roasted chicken with lemon and tarragon, grilled lobster or langoustines, and rich vegetable dishes with fennel, pumpkin, or almond. It is also an ideal \"quiet moment wine\" to savor slowly on a long summer evening, when you want to dream of the Swartland with your glass alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"3815\" data-end=\"3831\"\u003e Awards \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-start=\"3833\" data-end=\"3876\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-start=\"3833\" data-end=\"3876\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"3835\" data-end=\"3876\"\u003e 2024 – 5 stars (Platter's Wine Guide)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44336302948431,"sku":"30068","price":23.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/GoldmineBoekenhoutskloof2024.webp?v=1768210733"},{"product_id":"chateau-haut-claverie-sauternes-2020-0375l","title":"Château Haut-Claverie Sauternes 2020 0.375L","description":"\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1mmyqru\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"71\"\u003eChâteau Haut-Claverie Sauternes 2020\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"73\" data-end=\"724\"\u003eChâteau Haut-Claverie Sauternes 2020 in a half bottle is a classic Sauternes for moments when you want to combine rich sweetness with precision and fresh tension.
