CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM 1908

Wine 1908 1er Cru Classé Supérieur  Bordeaux Sauternes

To drink between 1935 and 2035

Château's note: Cool weather sets in throughout the entire cycle, apart from a brief flash of heat in May; one must wait until autumn and the return of warmth for the situation to finally improve; late September/early October, 3 weeks without rain allow for 16 consecutive days of a high-degree harvest, then one final very beautiful sorting around October 15th. A fine vintage.

Dark glowing, brownish amber. Ancient but very rich, powerful nose. Lots of muscular power. Not massively sweet though definitely some clean sweetness. Edge of citrus peel. So clean. Balance and wonderful freshness on the palate. Gorgeous finish. Worth drinking! Amazing undertow on the finish. Very gradually losing sweetness but not dangerously so. Long. Beautiful. Vigorous. Best wine of the tasting.

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.
