Chateau d'Yquem 2020 : Luminous & Legendary Premier Cru Supérieur

Château d’Yquem 2020 is a transcendent sweet wine from the sole Premier Cru Supérieur estate in Bordeaux, and arguably the most celebrated dessert wine in the world. Nestled atop the highest point in Sauternes, Château d’Yquem benefits from a unique microclimate that encourages the development of Botrytis cinerea (noble rot), essential for crafting its signature rich, honeyed style. The 2020 vintage, though marked by smaller yields, delivered grapes of exceptional concentration, purity, and balance, resulting in a wine of extraordinary elegance and depth.

The bouquet is mesmerizing, opening with layers of apricot, white peach, pineapple, and candied citrus, wrapped in notes of acacia blossom, saffron, almond, and vanilla bean. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet ethereal, delivering opulent sweetness perfectly counterbalanced by a vibrant streak of acidity. Flavors of tropical fruit, crème brûlée, and orange zest unfold with silky texture and remarkable finesse, leading into a seemingly endless finish that embodies grace, complexity, and longevity.

Château d’Yquem 2020 pairs exquisitely with foie gras, lobster with citrus glaze, Roquefort cheese, or as a luxurious finale to a meal served alongside fruit tarts or almond-based desserts. It is equally compelling on its own, savored slowly.
