Tasting CharacteristicsChâteau d’Yquem remains the benchmark of botrytised Sauternes, and the 2021 vintage continues that legacy. Grapes harvested selectively under noble rot, fermented and matured in fine French oak barrels, yield a wine of remarkable concentration yet refined balance. The 2021 shows the estate’s trademark harmony: luscious botrytised richness paired with vibrant acidity, creating a wine both opulent and elegant — destined for decades of evolution.
Aromas and flavours:
Primary
Aroma / Nose: Intense aromas of candied apricot, orange marmalade, honeycomb, beeswax, dried fig, gingerbread spice, honeysuckle and a whisper of toasted almond — all lifted by delicate citrus peel and a background of wet stone minerality.
Secondary
Palate / Taste: Sumptuous on the palate: layers of apricot confit and golden peach, marmalade citrus, honey, fig, preserved lemon peel, toasted almond and subtle vanilla-oak spice. Underneath, a thread of bright acidity and mineral tension keeps the sweetness poised and fresh — never heavy or cloying.
Tertiary
Finish: Very long, lush and layered — honeyed fruit slowly fades into waxy citrus, almond, saffron, toasted hazelnut and a clean mineral core; the aftertaste lingers minutes, deep and elegant.
GastronomyServe chilled (10–12 C) in a medium-sized white or dessert wine glass to reveal the layers gradually. Château d’Yquem 2021 is ideal with foie gras torchon or seared foie Gras, blue-veined cheeses (e.g. Roquefort), caramelised nuts desserts, crème brûlée, fruit tarts (especially stone fruit or citrus), or aged pecorino with honey. It also pairs beautifully with rich Asian dishes — duck à l’orange, pork belly in miso glaze — where its sweetness and acidity tame fat and spice.
