Description
This has a heady sweet nose of honeyed tropical fruits and a noticeable hint of fresh apricots. Subtle oak is well-integrated on the palate with layers of very ripe white peaches, melon, spice and orange marmalade, with a pure and lingering finsh. What is also remarkable is that it's going to be an early drinker too and is available at a fantastic price.

About this wine
Château d’Yquem
Château d’Yquem is the leading estate in the Sauternes appellation on the Left Bank of Bordeaux. It has long been reputed for making one of the world’s great sweet wines. In the 1855 classification of Bordeaux wines, Yquem was given the lofty title of Premier Cru Supérieur – the sole property at that level. It sits comfortably among the First Growths of the Médoc and their equivalents on the Right Bank regarding its quality and prestige among wine collectors.
