Discover a singular 2020 vintage of Château Yquem.
Terroir
The vineyard of Château Yquem has 113 hectares of vines. The terroir is at the highest altitude of Sauternes, which gives it a unique microclimate. The microclimate is critical, as it allows the easterly winds to move through the vineyard, helping to eliminate unwanted excess moisture, especially later in the growing season when noble rot sets in.
Service
It can be enjoyed young, although it should be decanted for at least one hour before drinking. The recommended serving temperature is between 10°C and 12°C. For the more experienced wine lovers, you can push the tasting experience over several days, in order to appreciate and follow the wine in its evolution.
It will be a wonderful accompaniment to a good fresh, slightly acidic lobster or a royal langoustine in a cream and lime sauce.
Yquem 2020, a vintage of great finesse
On March 23rd, Château d'Yquem officially presented the 2020 vintage. Despite the complicated weather conditions of the year, the Château d'Yquem teams, with their increased knowledge of the terroir and their multiple experiences in vine growing, were able to bring out the delicate and balanced personality of the vintage. A crystalline and fresh character defines its identity, allowing the tasting to be appreciated from a new gustatory perspective.
