Expert's opinions
Lovely, elegant in style, this balanced Yquem seduces with tropical, dried apricot and creamy-smooth flavors. Medium-bodied, it weighs softly on the palate, then kicks in with a persistent finish.

Château informations
Château d'Yquem is an absolute reference among great sweet wines and holds a unique place in the viticultural history of Bordeaux. Located at the heart of the Sauternes appellation, the estate benefits from an exceptional terroir and microclimate that promote the development of botrytis cinerea. In the official 1855 classification, Château d'Yquem was awarded an unparalleled status by being designated Premier Cru Supérieur, a distinction unique among the classified grand crus.
The identity of Château d'Yquem rests on an extreme level of rigor at every stage of production: very low yields, successive harvest passes (tries), and strict selection of grapes. Long held 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 standards of the château.
In the greatest years, Château d'Yquem produces vintages that have become iconic, such as the 1908 wine through the 1921 vintage, considered its pinnacle, passing through 1928 and 1929, which close out a remarkable decade, then the 1937 wine and the 1963 vintage, illustrating an exceptional aging capacity that can extend over several decades, or even beyond.
