(5-1999). Recorked in 1993. This is a surprise. From a vintage considered average in Sauternes, this very yellowish and light-styled Yquem offers bright elegant focus, medium body, lovely finesse and a racy structure; it's the sort of dessert wine you can sip and sip.

(8-1998). A late harvest started 1 October and ended 8 November, three days before the Armastice. Pale green war-time bottle. Astonishingly pale, with a fine bitty sediment; attractive, fragrant bouquet; fairly sweet, on th elight side, good flavour, dry finish.

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.
