2006 Chateau d’Yquem – Precision and Longevity in Sauternes

The 2006 Chateau d’Yquem stands as a compelling expression of Sauternes, highlighting the estate’s unmatched ability to balance richness with precision. Produced only in years meeting its exacting standards, d’Yquem remains the benchmark for botrytized wines, combining concentration, freshness, and remarkable aging capacity.

Tasting Notes

The wine opens with aromas of apricot, candied citrus peel, honeycomb, and vanilla. On the palate, it reveals layered textures of stone fruit, toasted almond, and subtle spice, lifted by vibrant acidity. The finish is expansive and refined, maintaining clarity and tension despite its depth and sweetness.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Chateau d’Yquem is crafted from a blend dominated by Semillon with a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes are harvested through multiple passes to select berries affected by noble rot at optimal ripeness. Aging takes place in new French oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop complexity while preserving freshness and structure.

Investment & Collectibility

As the most consistently sought-after Sauternes, Chateau d’Yquem holds a unique position in the fine wine market. The 2006 vintage offers long-term cellaring potential and sustained collector interest, with a proven track record for appreciation and global demand.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

The 2006 season produced wines of purity and balance, with botrytis developing gradually under favorable conditions. Critics note the wine’s precision and classical profile, marking it as a strong long-term holding.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A monumental bottle of Sauternes despite a moderate level of residual sugar (122 grams per liter), the 2006 d'Yquem displays a singular, distinctive and elegant bouquet with aromas of thyme, sage, curry, baked pineapple and oregano. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it’s rich and concentrated, with superb acidity on the mid-palate as well as freshness, tension and crystalline texture, concluding on an endless, ethereal finish with a racy bitterness. Simply stunning! Reviewed by Yohan Castaing, Issue date: October 2023. Drinking window: 2023 - 2065.

Vinous

The 2006 Yquem is initially tightly-wound on the nose before revealing enticing scents of mandarin, dried honey, quince and just a very slight adhesive scent. This is well-defined yet certainly demands more coaxing than its peers. The palate is well-balanced with fine delineation, a caressing viscous texture with desiccated orange peel and a touch of bitter lemon that counterbalances the richness. I noticed this 2006 becoming spicier with aeration. Excellent. Tasted at the Yquem dinner at Rick Stein's restaurant in Barnes. Reviewed by Neal Martin, Issue date: February 2022. Drinking window: 2022 - 2050
