1908 CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM 1908

Sauternes - 1er Cru Classé Supérieur  Bordeaux Sauternes

Note from the chateau: Cool weather sets in throughout the cycle, apart from a small flash of heat in May; We have to wait until autumn and the return of the heat for the situation to finally improve; At the end of September/beginning of October, 3 weeks without rain allow 16 consecutive days of a high level harvest, then a last very good 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

The Château d'Yquem is an area of 133 hectares including 113 hectares of vineyards, 102 acres operated, south of Bordeaux in Sauternes region that produces a sweet white wine ranked Premier Cru Superior, the only wine from the Sauternes category.

It is considered by many as the best Sauternes. The yield is only 6 hectoliters per hectare and in some years, if the quality is not deemed sufficient, the bottles are not sold under this label.

The wines are characterized by their complexity due to a significant amount of residual sugar and flavorings made by Botrytis cinerea. A relatively high acidity helps offset the sweetness. Another characteristic for which Château d'Yquem is known is his longevity. In good years does present a bottle of his outstanding after one or two decades in a cellar and with care it will keep for a century or more, adding to the complexity...

Since 1959 Chateau d'Yquem produces a dry white wine named "Y" (and before 2004 "Y Lur-Saluces") makes an equal proportion of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. This wine, like great wine is not produced every year. The 2005 vintage was the first vintage of Yquem offered for sale en primeur.
