Great wines are not born just anywhere. At Château d’Yquem, a rare equilibrium of climate and terroir creates a wine like no other. As the only estate classified as Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 classification, Yquem represents the pinnacle of Sauternes. The estate’s delicate and unique microclimate allows for the formation of noble rot, shaping a wine of remarkable elegance and complexity.

A beautifully structured and refined Yquem, the 2010 vintage is defined by its freshness and precision. The growing season brought cool nights and balanced ripening, yielding a wine of remarkable elegance. Aromas of citrus zest, white peach, and honeysuckle lead to a silky, layered palate of exotic fruits, vanilla, and subtle spice. The racy acidity ensures vibrancy, while the finish is long and complex. This vintage is both accessible in its youth and built for decades of graceful evolution.
