Château d'Yquem 1998 37,5CL

Château d’Yquem 1998 is one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated sweet wines, crafted from a meticulous selection of botrytised Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Produced in tiny quantities, with yields so low that each vine contributes only a glass of wine, it is prized for its extraordinary concentration, balance, and legendary aging potential.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, Château d’Yquem 1998 shows a luminous golden-amber hue that hints at its richness and evolution. The nose is layered and elegant, offering aromas of candied citrus, ripe apricot, honey, saffron, dried pineapple, and warm spice, with the subtle complexity that comes from noble rot. On the palate, it is opulent yet beautifully poised, combining velvety sweetness with vibrant acidity that keeps every sip fresh and precise. Flavors unfold slowly, revealing marmalade, stone fruit, caramelized pear, toasted almond, and a long mineral finish. This vintage has the structure and concentration to age for decades more, developing ever deeper notes of caramel, truffle, and dried fruit over time.

Viininvalmistus
Château d’Yquem is made exclusively from fully botrytised grapes, traditionally around 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The estate’s vineyard conditions favor the development of noble rot, with carefully timed harvesting carried out in multiple passes to select only perfectly affected berries. The winemaking is focused on preserving the exceptional purity, richness, and balance of the fruit, resulting in a wine of remarkable intensity and longevity.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
Serve Château d’Yquem slightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, to preserve its freshness and aromatic detail. It pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, tarte tatin, fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, or simply on its own as a contemplative finish to a meal. Decanting is generally not necessary, though older bottles may benefit from a gentle aeration before serving.
