Chris & Aaron is like a trip tale into the mind of a creative soul

Chateau Yquem Sauternes Yquem. “I do not call Yquem a wine because there are an infinite number of “wines” as such, but Yquem is unique. I prefer the word nectar – the drink of the gods – and if I found one that was more noble, I would be less ashamed of our restrictive vocabulary so poorly suited to superlatives.”

Wine type: Sauternes, Premier Cru Supérieur - Chateau d' Yquem.

Vintage and alcohol content: 2006 - 14°

Region: Chateau d' Yquem, Garonne Valley, Bordeaux - France..

Grape/blend: 75% Sémillon, 25% Sauvignon Blanc.

Type soil: Château d'Yquem's topsoil is warm and dry, accumulating heat thanks to smooth flat pebbles and coarse gravel. The clay subsoil contains good water reserves.

Aroma: apricot, quince, pineapple, almond, verbena, fig, rose, lychee, grapefruit, bitter orange, vanilla, saffron, roasted coffee beans... The smells of an entire market are concentrated in a glass of Yquem.

Tasting notes: sensual, smooth, sweet, round, charming, opulent, long finish.

Serving suggestions: perfect with foie gras, lobster, shrimps, blue cheeses or an old Comté. Serving 12°C.

Please note that it is an offence to purchase or attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor if you are under the age of 18.
