As the only Premier Cru Supérieur, Château d'Yquem is synonymous with exceptional quality and craftsmanship.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e About the Domain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Château d'Yquem has a rich history dating back to the 14th century and is widely considered the jewel in the crown of Sauternes. The estate covers approximately 126 hectares, of which 100 hectares are in production, and has been owned by LVMH since 1999.\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Vineyard and Terroir\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Château d'Yquem's vineyards are planted with 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The unique combination of clay and limestone soils, combined with the region's microclimate, promotes the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), essential for producing the concentrated and complex wines for which Yquem is known.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Vinification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe grapes are harvested by hand in several selective harvests to collect only the finest, noble rot-free grapes. After gentle pressing, the juice undergoes fermentation and matures for approximately three years in new oak barrels. This careful vinification results in a wine of unparalleled complexity and impressive aging potential.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Tasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The 2021 Château d'Yquem displays a brilliant golden color. On the nose, it offers a lush bouquet of honey, apricot, candied orange, and subtle notes of vanilla and spice. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with a perfect balance of sweetness and crisp acidity, leading to a long, elegant finish with nuances of tropical fruit and a hint of minerality.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Serving Temperature and Gastronomic Combinations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nServe this wine chilled at 10-12°C. The Château d'Yquem 2021 pairs perfectly with foie gras, blue cheeses like Roquefort, and fruit- or almond-based desserts.","brand":"Goessens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775872503887,"sku":"15009","price":436.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/chateau-d-yquem-sauternes-ac-1ccs-2021_15009.webp?v=1771590649","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/products\/chateau-dyquem-sauternes-ac-1ccs-2021","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
