Wine Spectator May - 1999
Wine Spectator
Delicate and floral, with seductive cream, lemon, apricot and pineapple character, this wine is delicious if just a bit tart on the finish.

Sweetish, light style, acidity propping it up.

(10/2019) Enormous surprise given the "small" vintage in Sauternes. The nose is powerful and highly perfumed. All the classic markers of old Sauternes can be found (candied fruits...). The palate is frank and supported by beautiful freshness. The aromas are deliciously patinated, old wax. Notes of quince, candied pineapple. An incredible length that goes on and on. A very beautiful memory.

Château d'Yquem

Château d'Yquem is an absolute reference for great sweet wines and occupies a unique place in the wine history of Bordeaux. Located in the heart of the Sauternes appellation, the estate benefits from exceptional terroir and microclimate that favor the development of botrytis cinerea. During the official classification of 1855, Château d'Yquem obtained an unparalleled status by being consecrated Premier Cru Supérieur, a unique distinction among the great classified growths.

The identity of Château d'Yquem is based on extreme rigor at every stage of production: very low yields, harvesting by successive selections and rigorous selection of grapes. Long owned by the Lur Saluces family, the estate has belonged since 1997 to the LVMH group, which has chosen to preserve the technical independence and historical rigor of the château.

In great years, Château d'Yquem gives birth to vintages that have become emblematic, such as Château d'Yquem 1908, Château d'Yquem 1921, Château d'Yquem 1945, Château d'Yquem 1949, Château d'Yquem 1967, Château d'Yquem 2009, illustrating an exceptional aging capacity, which can extend over several decades, or even beyond.
