CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM 1963

Wine 1963 1er Cru Classé Supérieur  Bordeaux Sauternes

The 1963 vintage gave the winegrowers in the Sauternes a hard time. However, the unique know-how of Château d'Yquem has produced a very decent wine. For this, a strict selection of berries first during the various selections, then in the cellar. The result is a first class superior growth of great quality.

Dark brown. Recalls those sweet wines in the Soviet archive – a bit of rancio, a bit of compost. Macerated raisins and a strongly rancio/bitter finish. Sightly hard work. This would need very careful food matching. Not that sweet. Bit more like a madeira.

From a poor year, this wine is a bit odd, with flinty, smoky notes, but there's enough decent sweetness to rate it good, with some dried fruit flavors that finish with a touch of bitterness.

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.
