[E] Chateau Yquem (part 2), Sauternes, tasting with Sandrine Garbay



http://www.bkwine.com/wine_tours/wine_tours.htm --- Sandrine Garbay, cellar master and winemaker at Chateau d Yquem, comments on how a Chateau d Yquem change in taste as it ages.

She starts from young vintages just after bottling and talks about how the taste evolves to more complex flavours with age, all while we are tasting the 1998 vintage. When young the wine is very much on the fruit and exotic aromas. With age it evolves more to dried fruit and marmalade. Even older it turns towards coffee, caramel, toast, roasted aromas... Enjoy!

Also some peeks on the vintages 1989, 1982, 1967, 1945, 1937, 1929, 1921, 1893. . . One can always dream!

Chateau d'Yquem is located in Sauternes in Bordeaux and is one of the worlds most expensive sweet white wines, in fact simply one of the worlds most exclusive wines over all. Yquem is the biggest property in all of Sauternes having 100 hectares. The size adds complexity and depth to the wine.

Dont miss the first video on Chateau dYquem where Sandrine Garbay talks about the chateau, her own background, the estate and about how to match and pair sauternes, and Yquem in particular, with food.
