Viniou Reviews

Château d'Yquem 2013 is a prestigious sweet white wine from the renowned Sauternes appellation, situated in the Bordeaux region of France. This exceptional vintage boasts a complex profile, attributed to its unique terroir and meticulous winemaking practices. The 2013 vintage, known for its rich concentration and balanced freshness, results from a blend predominantly composed of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The grapes benefit from noble rot, a natural process that enhances their sweetness and intensity. The specific terroir of Sauternes, with its clay and limestone soils overlaying limestone bedrock, combined with the humid microclimate provided by the proximity of the Ciron and Garonne rivers, creates the perfect conditions for this distinctive style of wine.

The Sauternes region, located in the southern part of Bordeaux, is famed for its sweet wines, rich in history and tradition. The area's unique climate plays a crucial role in wine production, with misty mornings and warm afternoons that encourage the development of Botrytis cinerea, commonly known as noble rot. This results in wines with incredible sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity.

Château d'Yquem 2013 pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Consider classic pairings such as foie gras, where the wine's sweetness complements the rich, buttery texture of the liver. Alternatively, blue cheeses like Roquefort create a beautiful contrast with the wine's sweetness and robust aroma. For a traditional regional pairing, try it with a dessert like tarte tatin, which mirrors the caramelised fruit notes found in the wine.

For optimum enjoyment, Château d'Yquem 2013 should be served at a chilled temperature of 10-12°C. This allows the wine's complex layers of flavour to unfold, revealing its aromatic notes of apricot, honey, and a hint of spice. Allow the wine to breathe for a few moments in the glass, letting its full bouquet blossom for a truly indulgent tasting experience.
