Merchant's description
Château d`Yquem 1985 is a legendary dessert wine from the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux. Produced from a blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, it offers a complex profile of orange marmalade, honey, dried apricots and crème brûlée. The 1985 harvest provided ideal conditions for a concentrated and botrytised style that still maintains a high level of natural acidity. It is a world-class sweet wine with an extraordinary ability to age.
