Chateau D` Yquem Sauternes 2002

This iconic wine was produced in an unusually dry year with excessive temperatures despite an overall lack of sunshine. Ripening was uneven and picking was rather complicated, starting on 12/9 and finishing on 5/11.
The 2002 vintage is a very elegant vintage that best expresses Yquem`s terroir beutifully, and features a remarkable balance between sweetness and acidity. It is a rich golden colour that is complimented by an intense, fresh, floral and honeyed nose. Very refined enchanting the palate with rich, creamy vanilla laden spicy fruit and alluring freshness.
