Enter the enchanting world of Chateau d’Yquem, where centuries of history and unparalleled flavors converge. From its medieval beginnings under the ownership of the King of England to its esteemed status as the most renowned chateau in Sauternes today, Chateau d’Yquem has left an indelible mark on the wine world.
When first bottled, Chateau d’Yquem exhibits a dark yellow or gold hue that evolves over time, taking on deeper, richer tones. A 40-year-old d’Yquem may resemble caramel, while bottles twice that age could exhibit the color of dark coffee.
But it's not just the color that changes with age; the flavors of Chateau d’Yquem also undergo a remarkable transformation. In its youth, the wine boasts honey-drenched tropical fruit flavors, which gradually give way to notes of caramel, burnt toast, spice, and creme brulee as it matures.
Chateau d’Yquem is truly an immortal wine, a must-have for any wine lover and collector. At our stock, you'll find a curated selection of Chateau d’Yquem wines, each one a testament to the estate's legacy of excellence and craftsmanship. Join us as we embark on a journey through the timeless elegance of Chateau d’Yquem and discover the magic of Sauternes in every sip.
