The 2007 Château d’Yquem half‑bottle offers a complex, layered bouquet of candied apricot, honeyed pineapple, saffron, and exotic spice, with hints of ginger and orange zest emerging over time. On the palate it is rich and concentrated yet held in tension by crystalline acidity and a filigree of minerality. The finish is remarkably long, carrying flavors of golden raisin, candied citrus peel, and toasty almond layers, with reserve power to age gracefully for decades.
Château d’Yquem is the only estate in the 1855 Bordeaux classification granted the unique status of Premier Cru Supérieur—a recognition of its unmatched excellence in sweet whites. Located in Sauternes on Bordeaux’s left bank, Yquem practices extremely rigorous viticulture, including multiple “tries” (selective harvest passes) to pick only perfectly botrytized grapes. The estate combines tradition and innovation, aging its wines in French oak while allowing the wine’s sheer concentration, acid backbone, and terroir character to shine. Over centuries, Yquem has set the standard not just for Sauternes but for all noble-rot wines worldwide—renowned for their longevity, complexity, and seamless balance of sweetness and energy.
