Spec sheet
The wine
It's difficult to describe the experience you have on drinking just one small sip of Château d'Yquem. It's something you'll never forget and hard to explain, perhaps somewhat similar to enjoying one of those desserts so perfectly created by truly expert chefs, something that can only be achieved by having a deep understanding of the best raw materials. We could run out of adjectives and still not have expressed just how much excitement every sip of Yquem conveys.
