CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM SAUTERNES 2018 (Bordeaux, France)
Refined to the smallest detail, an extremely refined white sweet wine spreading rich aromas of orange peel, ripe fresh and processed peaches and mango with a touch of vanilla and cream, as well as lemon meringue. In the mouth it's fantastic - a fine, wonderfully creamy texture, tannins that add energy and beauty to the whole, and an eye-catching finish - unbelievably long and impressive, lively, clean and refined. A perfect wine that is a spot-on combination of elegance and dignity. It can be drunk now, but will certainly have more to offer in the future remaining in excellent condition until at least 2045.
Serve with foie gras, terrine, blue cheese, tarte tatin, crêpes suzette, peach and apricot pie, cooked apples, crème brûlée with candied fruit, and orange and pineapple parfait.
