About the wine

Tasting notes

Almond notes on the nose, mingled with refreshing hints of cedar, pineapple, pear, Agen plum and mandarin orange. Aromas of candied orange and lemon gradually come to the fore, underpinned by intense floral notes of gardenia and broom flowers. Château d’Yquem is very lively on the palate. It starts out fresh then becomes rich and concentrated mid-palate, making for a perfectly well-balanced wine with incredible finesse. Its powerful structure is prolonged by a touch of candied bitterness, leading into a long, suave finish.
