Characteristics and tasting advice for Château d’Yquem 1959
Tasting
Colour
Beautiful amber colour.
Nose
Intense and complex, the nose exudes fragrances of toasted bread, candied orange, roasting and raisins.
Palate
A broad and powerful attack precedes a palate with rich roasted aromas.
A structured and intense Sauternes grand wine
The estate
Located south of Bordeaux, the Château d'Yquem is one of the most beautiful references among the great Sauternes wines. This legendary Premier Cru Classé Supérieur enjoys an exceptional terroir and gives birth to globally sought-after sweet wines.
The vineyard
Château d’Yquem is an extraordinary place, nestled in the heart of the hills of the Sauternes appellation, rich in a hundred hectares of vineyards planted on a mosaic of gravelly-sandy terroirs.
The vintage
A warm and dry start to the year precedes a particularly wet March and April. The Indian summer with high temperatures and low rainfall suggests a high-quality harvest. Harvest in 4 passes between September 19 and October 16.
Blend
Sémillon
Sauvignon blanc.
