Château d’Yquem 2019 is an exceptional, golden-yellow Sauternes with a complex nose of pear pie, pineapple, honey, saffron and citrus. This vintage is elegant, lively and perfectly balanced by a fresh acidity, so it never becomes “sticky”. The wine offers a long, decadent finish with notes of caramel and dried fruit.
