Château d’Yquem Sauternes 2010 Half Bottle represents the pinnacle of sweet wine from Bordeaux. As the only estate classified as Premier Cru Supérieur in 1855, Yquem is world-renowned for its botrytized wines that balance richness with freshness and extraordinary longevity.
The 2010 vintage was exceptional in Sauternes, marked by ideal conditions for noble rot. This half bottle offers concentrated aromas of apricot, candied orange, honey, and saffron, with layers of spice and floral notes. The palate is unctuous yet lifted by vibrant acidity, leading to an exceptionally long finish.
In half-bottle format, the wine evolves more quickly, making it ideal for those who wish to experience Yquem’s complexity sooner while still enjoying its signature depth. A collector’s bottle of the highest order, perfect with foie gras, blue cheeses, or fruit desserts.
