White 2006
Our committee's review
Château d’Yquem is unquestionably the finest sweet wine in the world. This legendary estate has earned its status not through hyperbole but through its unparalleled consistency, extraordinary aging potential, and remarkable aromatic complexity. The only Sauternes classified as Premier Grand Cru Supérieur, it stands as one of the greatest wines on the planet—a true icon of excellence.
Every vintage of Château d’Yquem is a masterpiece, marked by extraordinary precision and finesse. The 2006 vintage, a dream year and one of the greatest of the century alongside icons like 1988, 1990, 1967, and 1947, firmly upholds the estate’s unmatched reputation. Don’t miss the chance to own this legendary wine, already a timeless classic.
The 2006 Château d’Yquem is a masterpiece of finesse and purity, living up to its legendary reputation. With its remarkable freshness and relatively moderate sugar level of 122 g/L, this vintage delivers an astounding expression of Sauternes. Notes of thyme, spices, candied fruits, and roasted pineapple are harmoniously interwoven into a rich, multidimensional body. A vibrant tension and persistent freshness elevate its complexity, leading to an unforgettable, seemingly endless finish. A monumental wine, simply magical. Rated 98/100 by Parker.
An exceptional vintage deserves an exceptional wine, and Yquem delivers once again. Experience the magic of Yquem with this legendary vintage!
