This offers creamed yellow apple, green melon and verbena notes surrounded by a brioche and salted butter frame. The long and flattering finish lets a second wave of coconut, candied lemon peel and heather glide through. Clearly on the opulent side of the ledger, but there's a remarkably deft edge here as well. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2025.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
The infamous dry white from Chateau d'Yquem is rare enough to see outside of France, but in 3 Liter, it is a bit of a unicorn. We have a single Jerobaum available!
About the Producer
The history of Château d’Yquem is like a novel, an epic saga full of events and colourful personalities spanning more than four centuries. Chateau d’Yquem is not only the most famous chateau in Sauternes today, the estate has possessed an exalted reputation dating back to the middle ages when d’Yquem was owned by the King of England. Today the estate is owned by the infamous luxury brand Moet Hennessy-Louis Vuitton who have made significant re-investment into the property. Yquem is in a class of their own, quite literally, in the classification of 1855, it was given a unique classification of Premier Cru Superieur", because it so clearly stood above all other Chateau.
