Lively and lovely colour ; very curious, highish tone nose, chocolatey, then slightly sickly vanilla ; equally odd peach-skin flavour. very dry finish.

Jancis Robinson January - 2014
Jancis Robinson
A quite extraordinary wine in every sense. It came at the end of a series of Cheval Blancs of vintages ending in 0. This wine gained its place because it was – gasp – 100 years old. By this stage in its life it was not all that sweet but had amazing balance and refreshment value. Very pale tawny with a red tinge and so very, very lively. Quite extraordinarily reverberant for its age. Still very much alive and kicking.

Château d'Yquem

Château d'Yquem is an absolute benchmark among 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. In the official 1855 classification, Château d'Yquem obtained an unparalleled status by being consecrated Premier Cru Supérieur, a unique distinction among the grands crus classés.

The identity of Château d'Yquem is based on extreme rigor at every stage of production: very low yields, successive selective harvests and rigorous selection of grapes. Long the property of the Lur Saluces family, the estate has belonged to the LVMH group since 1997, which has chosen to preserve the technical independence and historical standards of the château.

In great years, Château d'Yquem produces legendary vintages, 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, demonstrating an exceptional aging capacity that can extend over several decades, or even beyond.
