Product Info

98 bod. - The Wine Advocate

Već vjekovima među ljubiteljima vina postoji gotovo jednoglasno mišljenje da je Château d’Yquem najveće slatko vino na svijetu. Kao jedino imanje sa oznakom Premier Cru Supérieur u čuvenoj bordoškoj apelaciji Sauternes, Château d’Yquem predstavlja sam vrh svoje kategorije. Svaka berba odražava neuporedivu posvećenost kvalitetu, pokazujući savršen balans raskoši, kompleksnosti i dugovječnosti.

Yquem 2006 počinje da otkriva izuzetnu složenost po kojoj je ovo imanje poznato. Na nosu se otvaraju arome džema od kajsije, kandirane kore pomorandže, bagremovog meda, pečenog ananasa i šafrana, uz slojeve crème brûlée-a, tostiranog badema i bijelog cvijeća. Na nepcu je vino bogato, ali istovremeno izuzetno živahno, spajajući raskošnu teksturu sa vibrantnom kisjelinom i izraženom mineralnom svježinom. Ukusi marmelade, tropskog voća, karamelizovanih citrusa i slatkih začina postepeno se razvijaju prema izuzetno dugom i svilenkastom završetku.

98 points - The Wine Advocate

There has been a consensus for centuries among wine aficionados that Château d’Yquem is the greatest sweet wine in the world. As the only estate to hold the Premier Cru Supérieur designation in Bordeaux’s esteemed Sauternes appellation, Château d’Yquem represents the pinnacle of its class. Each vintage reflects an unparalleled dedication to quality, showcasing a balance of opulence, complexity, and longevity.

The 2006 Yquem is beginning to reveal the extraordinary complexity for which the estate is famous. The nose opens with aromas of apricot preserve, candied orange peel, acacia honey, baked pineapple, and saffron, layered with notes of crème brûlée, toasted almond, and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is rich yet remarkably lifted, balancing its luscious texture with vibrant acidity and pronounced mineral freshness. Flavours of marmalade, tropical fruits, caramelized citrus, and sweet spice unfold gradually into an exceptionally long, silky finish.
