Merchant's description

Château d`Yquem 2011 is a noble sweet wine from the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux. Château d`Yquem is the sole Premier Cru Supérieur and is almost universally regarded as the world`s greatest sweet wine. This bottling presents a complex bouquet of dried apricot, mango and honey, with nuances of saffron and toasted nuts. The palate is rich and unctuous yet balanced by a vibrant acidity that gives it a racy and fresh character. The large-format bottle will allow the wine to age gracefully for many decades, showcasing its exceptional pedigree.
