Château d'Yquem is an dessert wine from France, in the Bordeaux region (Southwest France, around the city of Bordeaux and the Garonne and Dordogne rivers.), made principally from Sémillon. The world's most legendary sweet wine — botrytised Sauternes from the premier cru supérieur of the appellation.
In character, this premium tier delivers the classic sémillon profile — lemon, beeswax, toasted, apple — with the structural stamp of Bordeaux and a medium-to-full-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
