Bordeaux

With its 38 appellations, the Bordeaux vineyard is the most important in France in terms of AOC. Some of the wines produced there are among the most famous and expensive in the world, making Bordeaux a world benchmark in terms of wine production.

The vineyard's production is varied: around 80% red wines (such as Pomerol or Pauillac) and 20% dry white wines (such as Entre-deux-mers or Pessac-Léognan) or sweet (for example Sauternes or Cadillac), to which are added rosés, clairets, and sparkling wines (crémant de Bordeaux).

YQUEM YQUEM 1990

SAUTERNE

Description

Château d'Yquem is a prestigious winery located in the Bordeaux region of France. Known for producing world-renowned sweet wines, the estate has a history dating back to the 16th century. The vineyards are planted with primarily Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which thrive in the unique microclimate of the region.

The Yquem 1990 is a legendary dessert wine with a rich golden hue. On the nose, aromas of honey, apricot, and tropical fruits mingle with hints of spice and toasted almonds. The palate is decadently sweet and luscious, with flavors of candied citrus, caramel, and vanilla. This vintage is beautifully balanced with a long, complex finish that lingers on the palate. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or enjoy on its own as a decadent treat.
