Château d'Yquem, 1er C Sup. Sauternes (37.5 cl) - 2020

A brilliant, luminous gold colour, with a smooth, fat appearance. The initial nose is reminiscent of some of the great Barsacs, with hints of lemon, citron and lime, as well as menthol, floral, fresh, spring and even summer notes. The attack is fine and suave, with an unforgettable taste of apricot, candied citrus fruit, beggar's wort and dried fruit: the wine is a festival of flavours, with a mouth that is open, generous and extremely greedy. The sugar is meltingly sweet and incredibly delicious. This is THE Sauternes of dreams for rediscovering the appellation and the Château. It can even be drunk young. This wine is literally a party!
