Ch\u00e2teau d’Yquem tasting opened at Grand Lisboa Palace resort in Macau, bringing collectors and hospitality professionals together for a vertical flight spanning a century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guests<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The event, hosted by SJM Resorts at the resort restaurant Taste, partnered with Bordeaux Liquid Gold to present a vertical tasting of Ch\u00e2teau d’Yquem that included 12 vintages from 1921 to 2021<\/strong>, drawing wine collectors and industry guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the night\u2019s highlights was an early tasting of the not-yet-released 2024 \u2018Y\u2019 Ygrec dry white, served nearly three months before most global collectors and critics had access to the new release, SJM Resorts said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening opened with remarks from Gerard Walker, SJM Resorts chief director of hotel, food and beverage and facilities operations; Michelin two-star chef Jos\u00e9 Avillez; and Lorenzo Pasquini, chief executive officer of Ch\u00e2teau d’Yquem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pasquini outlined the estate\u2019s more than 400 years of winemaking history and described the house principle of one vine, one cup, noting how botrytis and vintage conditions shape each bottle\u2019s character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Menu and pairings: eight courses by Jos\u00e9 Avillez<\/h2>\n\n\n

Chef Jos\u00e9 Avillez designed an eight-course menu of contemporary Portuguese dishes to pair with the Ch\u00e2teau d’Yquem tasting, aiming to highlight each wine\u2019s texture and flavor through contrasting ingredients and techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From amuse-bouche to dessert, the courses were carefully staged so the wine pairings evolved across the dinner, Avillez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early access to the 2024 Ygrec<\/h3>\n\n\n

SJM Resorts said the dinner offered guests the chance to taste the 2024 \u2018Y\u2019 Ygrec dry white ahead of wider release, noting that the pour allowed attendees to compare the new release directly with older Ch\u00e2teau d’Yquem vintages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vertical tasting<\/strong> gave collectors a rare view of how the estate\u2019s style has developed across a full century, from 1921 through 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n

What organizers said and next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n

SJM Resorts said it plans to continue hosting dining and wine events at Grand Lisboa Palace to enrich the resort\u2019s culinary program and to promote Macau\u2019s food and beverage culture through collaborations with wineries, chefs, and hospitality brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bordeaux Liquid Gold, which curated the Ch\u00e2teau d’Yquem tasting, worked with the resort to present detailed tasting notes and provenance for each vintage, organizers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests at the Ch\u00e2teau d’Yquem tasting included collectors, sommeliers, and members of Macau\u2019s hospitality sector, reflecting strong industry interest in rare Bordeaux verticals.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
