lifted aromas of jasmine

Heavy crimson and magenta hues in colour

iodine character that infinitely complexes the wine but also gives it added freshness

It’s a red wine made for food

Château d'Yquem, 1er G.C.C, 1855 (Sauternes) 2013 Size::1 Bottle lifted aromas of jasmineSauternes is different from other sweet wines for two reasons. First of all, Sauternes has a unique interplay of soil, topography and microclimate which promotes the regular growth of Botrytis cinerea perhaps more than anywhere else. Second, the vineyards are harvested in several "waves" in order to pick only the most botrytised grapes each time.
