Description
Discover the singular prestige of Chateau d'Yquem, the one and only Premier Cru Superieur from Sauternes, where every bottle tells a story of unwavering excellence in sweet white wines. This 2016 release from Bordeaux, France, captures that essence through a seamless blend of lavish depth and crisp vitality, making it a standout choice for those seeking something truly special.
A pale golden hue shimmers in the light, inviting your first pour from this elegant 375 ml half-bottle. Lift the glass, and waves of honey-kissed apricots, ripe pineapple, soft caramel, and a whisper of ginger rise to greet you. Each sip reveals a luxurious, full-bodied texture that coats the palate with echoes of that honey, vibrant mandarin orange, juicy apricots, and the faintest trace of burnt sugar. The experience lingers endlessly, lifted by bright acidity that tempers the sweetness into perfect harmony.
It's no surprise that discerning voices in the wine world have showered it with acclaim—James Suckling awarded 99 points, Jeb Dunnuck matched with 99, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave 98, alongside strong nods from Vinous (95), Wine Spectator (94), and Wine Enthusiast (95+). Whether you enjoy it today or tuck it away, its prime window stretches from 2020 to 2064, gaining even more nuance over time in the cellar.
Serve this 14% ABV treasure straight from the bottle—no decanting required—after letting it breathe briefly to unlock its full aromatic charm. Chill to 10–12°C for the ideal expression of its layers. Picture it alongside foie gras for a savory contrast, robust blue cheeses that cut through the richness, or fruit-driven desserts where its sweetness shines. At this price point, Chateau d'Yquem 2016 Sauternes offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Bordeaux legend, perfect for celebrations, quiet evenings, or building your collection.
Indulge in the timeless allure of this exceptional sweet white from France's renowned region—add it to your cart and elevate your next moment.
