Executive Context
When to Order
The world's most complex sweet wine. Château d'Yquem is the only Premier Cru Supérieur in Bordeaux's classification. Offering Sauternes with foie gras or dessert is unforgettable.
Say This at the Table
"Let's have a Sauternes with the foie gras — it's a classic pairing. If there's any d'Yquem on the list, even a half-bottle would be extraordinary."
