With a deep copper hue, the aromatics are explosive! Chocolate, coffee, crème brulee, orange, caramel, flowers, spice, butterscotch, earth and cocoa are revealed. Silky, velvet drenched layers of orange coated with cocoa and chocolate remain on the palate for well over 60 seconds. Chateau d’Yquem is expensive and some consumers feel when compared to other Sauternes, Chateau d’Yquem is not worth the difference in price. That is because they have never experienced a fully mature vintage of Chateau d’Yquem. At 75 years of age, this wine is still going to improve for another 25-50 or even 75 more years!

Explosive bouquet. A superb bottle despite a rather varnishly, singed, raisiny fragrance; very sweet, tremendously rich, fleshy, almost fat... and so on.

Golden and yellow colour, very very sweet and rich – almost rum toffee nose. Essence of crème caramel but with great structure – still chewy. Long and very fresh. Some astringency on the finish. Very mellow nose that’s almost rancio – you could almost take this for a Madeira. Lots of acidity. Very complete. Very long and great nobility and confidence. Interesting almost vegetal element.

Deep brown-orange color with a palate that is bordering on caramel with layers of dried flowers, toffee and mango tart. There is still amazing acid backbone and an intense energy to this wine that is nearly 80 years old. What a spectacular Yquem, still exhibiting its full spendor.

 Served from an ex-chateau bottle. The 1937 Chateau d’Yquem was made in a year when there was a severe drought in Sauternes, though the crop was harvested between September 21 and November 3, the heart of the crop was picked during a warm dry spell between October 1-21. It is a legendary wine, but on this occasion it was easily surpassed. Having said that, winemaker Sandrine Garbay mentioned that this was not the best bottle and that on its day it can rank alongside the 1945. On any other day, this would have been the wine of the tasting. It has a deep mahogany color. The nose gently unfurls in the glass with scents of orange rind, mandarin, honeysuckle and melted candle wax. The palate is linear and correct on the entry and certainly gives notice of an immensely powerful Yquem, even if this bottle does not possess the delineation and tension of the 1945. This particular bottle might suggest that the 1937 is past its lofty peak, although there is enough here to suggest that the next might deliver nirvana.

Château d'Yquem

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.
