Château d’Yquem Sauternes 1855 1er Cru 2015

Sharp-sweet marmalade orange peel flavours. Utterly spellbinding, stretching out through the palate, mint leaf and white truffle on the finish. The higher Sémillon than in the 2019 comes through in the luxurious texture. A wonderful vintage at Yquem, and this is just a wine to savour – and one that will deliver for decades to come. Pierre Lurton director.
