Yquem 2009 is a blend primarily of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, cultivated in the Sauternes region of Bordeaux. Château d`Yquem has a storied history dating back to the 16th century and is classified as a Premier Cru Supérieur. The vineyard`s unique microclimate, characterised by morning mists and sunny afternoons, encourages the development of noble rot, essential for producing this extraordinary sweet wine. The 2009 vintage showcases a complex structure, with aromas of apricot, honey, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it reveals rich layers of fruit alongside a balancing acidity.
