Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes 2005 California the wine reverts to that

the wine reverts to that lovely chalky notion and is absolutely dry

Vinifing and ageing in oak gives the wines extra body and texture as well as toasty notes

Served chilled as an aperitif or to accompany fois gras or maybe with that special dessert or cheese

Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes 2005 California the wine reverts to thatEverything about the 2005 growing season pointed towards a great vintage: moderate water stress, a temperate end to the summer season conducive to good acidity, alternating periods of rain and dry heat for optimum botrytisation, etc. The wine has a phenomenally complex bouquet, confirming the extraordinary quality of the vintage.
