Châteay d'Yquem is often described as the greatest sweet wine in the world.
The complexity of Château d'Yquem is mainly due to the incredible balance between sweetness and acidity, a combination that is also responsible for the enormous aging potential of this wine. During the aging process in the bottle, additional aromas such as salted caramel, crème brulée, toast, and brioche are also created, which provide additional complexity.
And, as with any wine of exceptional quality, Yquem's production is all about perfection. Perfection in every step of the process, from the vine to the bottle. All the barriques used are 100% new French oak. The chateau has also been working organically in the vineyard .
