Merchant's description

Yquem 2022 is a sweet white wine from the Sauternes region. This iconic wine is crafted from grapes affected by noble rot, resulting in an incredible intensity and depth. It shows a lush, complex profile of dried apricot, honeyed citrus, candied pineapple and toasted nuts, all perfectly balanced by a vibrant, high-toned acidity. The 2022 vintage provided the ideal conditions for the botrytis to develop, resulting in a wine of immense concentration, stature and long-term potential, showcasing the unique, storied terroir of this pre-eminent Sauternes estate.
