รายละเอียดสินค้า
Château d'Yquem 2006 beautifully illustrates the timeless elegance of mature Sauternes. Compared with the richer 2005 or the opulent 2009, the 2006 vintage is celebrated for its precision, freshness, and impeccable balance. Layers of honey, apricot, citrus marmalade, saffron, and roasted nuts continue to unfold in the glass, while its vibrant acidity promises graceful evolution for another 30–50 years, reaffirming Château d'Yquem's status as one of the world's greatest collectible wines.
wine score
96 points Wine Enthusiast
This is the rich wine of the vintage. With its intensen fruit, piles of spice, but excellent balance, this promises flavors of baked apples and intense dried fruits. The botrytis layer is discreet, a hint rather than overpowering. Barrel Sample: 94-96 Points
95 points Wine Advocate
Medium lemon-gold colored, the 2006 d'Yquem is a little reticent at this stage, slowly revealing notes of pineapple pastry, dried apple slices, orange preserves and spice cake plus nuances of crème brûlée, preserved ginger, nutmeg and baking bread. The palate offers mouth-coating tropical fruit and baking spice layers with a seductive oiliness to the texture and loads of citrus sparks, finishing with bold freshness and amazing length. Allow it just a couple more years in bottle to get over this slightly muted hump, then drink it for the next 25+ years. For number crunchers: 13.8% alcohol, 122 grams per liter residual sugar, and total acidity is 4.2 grams per liter H2SO4. Rating: 95+
91 points Wine Spectator
This has turned creamy, with peach, apricot and tangerine notes caressed by heather honey and picking up a tangy green tea note on the finish. Long and very stylish. Drink now through 2012.

เนื้อหาสินค้า
Château d’Yquem is universally recognized as the world's greatest sweet wine estate and the only property awarded the prestigious Premier Cru Supérieur classification in the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Every vintage is produced through painstaking selection, with grapes harvested by hand over multiple passes to capture only perfectly botrytised berries.
The 2006 vintage reflects a classic expression of Château d'Yquem, combining concentration with exceptional balance. Noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) developed under ideal conditions, producing grapes with extraordinary aromatic complexity while preserving the vibrant acidity that defines the estate's timeless style.
Produced primarily from Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc, the wine was matured in new French oak barrels before extended bottle aging. It already displays impressive harmony, yet still possesses decades of evolution ahead. Rich, layered, and remarkably fresh, Château d'Yquem 2006 exemplifies why the estate remains the benchmark for sweet wine worldwide.
