Description

Château d'Yquem 1989

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé


In 2024, an intense bouquet of orange peel nobility, taking up its position in the middle of a stellar trilogy of Yquem vintages. Total walnut, orange and vanillin richness on the palate, with perfect equilibrium, seductive silkiness and allure, followed by a great uplift of freshness at the end. An extraordinary match with Eton Mess! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
