Château d'Yquem is a winery located in the Sauternes region of Bordeaux, France, and is known for producing some of the world's most expensive and highly regarded sweet wines. The 2013 vintage is a blend of 75% Semillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc, and has received high praise from critics for its complexity and balance.

On the nose, the wine is said to offer aromas of honey, apricot, and vanilla, along with floral and citrus notes. On the palate, it is described as rich and full-bodied, with flavors of honey, marmalade, and tropical fruit, balanced by a bright acidity and a long, lingering finish.

This wine is typically aged for several years before release, and can continue to develop and improve with further cellaring. It is often served as a dessert wine, and pairs well with sweet dishes like fruit tarts or crème brûlée.
