{"product_id":"chateau-dyquem-2015-imperial","title":"Château d'Yquem 2015 Imperial","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau d’Yquem 2015 is one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious dessert wines, crafted from a meticulous selection of botrytised Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Revered for its extraordinary concentration, balance, and longevity, it carries the legacy of the only estate in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification to receive the rank of Premier Cru Supérieur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Château d’Yquem 2015 shows a luminous golden hue, hinting at its richness and depth. The bouquet is layered and expressive, with notes of candied citrus, ripe apricot, honey, saffron, tropical fruit, and delicate floral nuances, all framed by the signature complexity of noble rot.\n\nOn the palate, it is opulent yet beautifully poised, combining luscious sweetness with vibrant acidity that keeps every sip fresh and precise. Flavours of peach, marmalade, quince, toasted almond, and beeswax unfold in a long, elegant finish. This is a wine built for the cellar, with the structure and concentration to evolve gracefully for decades, and likely far beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in Sauternes, in the southern part of Bordeaux, Château d’Yquem benefits from a unique terroir where morning mists from the Ciron and Garonne rivers encourage the development of noble rot, or Botrytis cinerea. The grapes are harvested by hand in several successive passes, with only perfectly botrytised berries selected. Fermentation and ageing are carried out with great care, traditionally in oak barrels, to preserve purity, intensity, and balance while building texture and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe Château d’Yquem slightly chilled, ideally around 8–10°C. It pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheeses such as Roquefort, fruit-based desserts, tarte Tatin, or simply enjoyed on its own. Decanting is generally not necessary for a younger vintage like 2015, though a brief opening before serving can help the aromatics unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau d’Yquem has been producing exceptional sweet wine for more than 400 years and is widely regarded as the benchmark for Sauternes.
