Characteristics and tasting advice for Château d’Yquem 1998
Tasting
Colour
Clear and bright gold colour.
Nose
Pure and intense, the nose opens up to fruity fragrances (apricot, figs, quince, mandarin) followed by vanilla and toasted notes conferred by barrel ageing.
Palate
A round and balanced attack precedes a full and supple palate, supported by a beautiful freshness.
The balance and persistence of a great Sauternes wine
The property
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 produces globally sought-after sweet wines.
The vineyard
The 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
The warm and dry winter promotes early bud burst, before a very rainy April followed by a particularly dry summer, especially in August, ensuring the qualitative maturation of the grapes. Harvest in 4 passes between September 22 and October 30.
Blend
Sémillon
