Chateau D'Yquem Sauternes 2011

Tast­ing Notes from the Curator

Made of 80% Sémil­lon, 20% Sauvi­gnon Blanc. This irre­sistible white wine is sweet, fruity and sur­pris­ing­ly bold. It lies more on the high acidic side and express­es apri­cot, pear and peach notes. Slight under­tones of hon­ey, caramel and oak are also present. On the eye, clear and medi­um gold. Won­der­ful­ly com­plex with a min­er­al aftertaste.

Pair­ings

As this is a desert wine, it is best paired with pun­gent blue cheese such as stil­ton, blue cheese, roque­fort and gor­gonzo­la. You may also pair with del­i­cate but­tery cheeses such as Brie de Meaux, Camem­bert de Nor­mandie and Epoiss­es.

A cel­e­brat­ed wine by connoisseurs

This wine not only comes from a cel­e­brat­ed win­ery but is also mul­ti-award­ed on its own. It’s 2001 Vin­tage had gar­nered 100 points with Wine Spec­ta­tor and its 1990 Vin­tage is among the top 1% wines in the world. Some peo­ple find it out­ra­geous to drink a young Yquem and believe that open­ing such a mon­u­men­tal wine before its thir­ti­eth birth­day is tan­ta­mount to a sac­ri­lege. Oth­ers, on the con­trary, think that Yquem can be enjoyed at all stages in its life. This 2011 vin­tage still gives an enjoy­able expe­ri­ence and is high­ly regard­ed across the world.
