The 2021 d'Yquem exhibits a complex bouquet of rose, exotic fruits and mandarin orange mingled with spring flowers, rose and crème brûlée, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless palate that's suave and layered, with a deep core and a long finish that's lent definition by delicate bitterness that offsets the 148 grams per liter residual sugar. This blend of 65% Sémillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc was matured, as usual, in all new barrels, but the new oak is perfectly integrated and barely noticeable.

About this wine

Château d'Yquem

Château d'Yquem is a famous wine producer located in the Bordeaux region of France. It is particularly known for its Sauternes wine, considered one of the world's finest dessert wines. The producer can be traced back to the 17th century, when the Lur-Saluces family played a decisive role in establishing it as a prestigious wine producer. In 1999, the Lur-Saluces family sold Château d'Yquem to the French luxury giant LVMH (Louis Vuitton Möet Hennessy), underscoring the estate's status as a luxury producer.
