Château d'Yquem Sauternes 2010

The wine is rich and honeyed, with floral notes of honeysuckle on the nose. The palate, medium- to full-bodied, begins with lemon candy notes and later shows spice, apricot, and lemongrass. This is a very strong offering from the estate; it's nuanced, complex and fresh, with a depth of flavour that bodes well for longer term ageing. Pairs well with Foie gras, terrines, blue cheese, tarte tatin, crepes Suzette or duck with orange, but it will also be perfect for peach and apricot pies, cooked apples, creme brûlée with candied fruit, caramel cream and orange and pineapple parfait.
