In a few words ...
Assembly : 80% Semillon - 20% Sauvignon Blanc. vinification : hand-picked. Traditional, meticulous viticulture. Fermentation takes place in barrels to ensure perfect control of this most delicate and mysterious phase of wine-making. The wine is aged for 30 months in barrels. TASTING : a beautiful golden yellow color. A reserved nose, with hints of apricot, peach and coconut. A creamy nose. a round, full-bodied attack on the palate, with a lively, rich evolution. A very fine structure for this wine, with great staying power and good length. 2006 was not an easy vintage. But thanks to a rigorous selection process, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, this wine made the most of Yquem's terroirs.

The main aromatic range of sweet and syrupy Bordeaux includes flowers, fresh fruit and exotic fruit, as well as spicy and empire notes (wood, cinnamon, vanilla...).

Young sweet whites are delicious, slightly jammy but still full of acidity. With age, they evolve towards more concentrated aromas, such as the bitterness of candied orange, hints of salted butter caramel and aromas of vanilla.
