Château d'Yquem 2001 37,5CL

Château d'Yquem 2001 is one of the great names in sweet wine, produced in the celebrated Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux. Crafted only from botrytized Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, it is famed for its extraordinary concentration, balance, and remarkable ability to age for decades. Since the estate was recognized as Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it has stood at the very pinnacle of fine dessert wine.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, Château d'Yquem typically shows a luminous golden to amber hue that deepens with age. The bouquet is famously layered, with aromas of apricot, peach, candied citrus peel, honey, saffron, dried tropical fruit, and subtle notes of vanilla, toast, and exotic spice. On the palate, it is rich and opulent yet beautifully lifted by vibrant acidity, giving the wine poise and precision rather than heaviness. Expect flavors of marmalade, quince, honeycomb, roasted pineapple, and almond, followed by an exceptionally long, elegant finish. The 2001 vintage is built for long cellar aging and can continue developing for many more years, gaining complexity and nuttier, more caramelized nuances over time.

Viininvalmistus
Château d'Yquem sits on the highest hill in Sauternes, where warm, humid conditions from the nearby Ciron and Garonne rivers encourage the development of noble rot, or Botrytis cinerea. The estate’s gravelly, well-drained soils and meticulous vineyard work help concentrate the fruit while preserving freshness. Harvesting is carried out by hand in multiple selective passes, picking only perfectly botrytized berries at optimal ripeness. The wine is then vinified with great care to capture purity, balance, and the signature intensity that defines Yquem.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a luxurious wine that pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheeses such as Roquefort, fruit-based desserts, almond tarts, and crème brûlée. It can also be a stunning match for roast poultry with sweet glazes or served on its own as a contemplative finish to a meal. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, and decant only if needed just before serving, as older bottles are usually best handled gently to preserve their delicate aromas.
