Blend and Origin
2011 Château d'Yquem, Sauternes
Due to a very warm spring, the harvest started and ended early, with picking commencing in the first week of September - the earliest harvest for the past 125 years. The grapes for this blend, 80% sémillon and 20% sauvignon blanc, were carefully picked at intervals to coincide with the changeable weather.
This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
