The 2020 d'Yquem presents a fresh bouquet with aromas of white fruits, orchard fruits and mango, complemented by a hint of spring flowers. It's perfectly balanced and moderately weighted compared to other vintages, making it a tense, penetrating d'Yquem. Despite the challenges of the growing season and a brief harvest (which began on September 30th and concluded on October 12th), d'Yquem's team managed to produce a mere 40,000 bottles, a modest yield in recent years.

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.
