Wine Spectator May - 1999
Wine Spectator
This is silky and beautifully creamy in the mouth. Medium-bodied, there's nothing heavy or big here, just a sense of harmony. So ethereal, it's the sort of wine one could drink almost every night.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 1976 Yquem continues to go from strength to strength. Who can ignore the awesome bouquet of spices, honeyed fruit, pineapples, bananas, coconuts, and overripe melons? This full-bodied, viscous, luscious wine has been absolutely delicious since bottling, given its relatively low acidity and precocious personality. It is one of the few true great vintages of Yquem that can actually be drunk with tremendous pleasure at such a young age. Eighty per cent of the harvest made it into the final wine.

High notes of volatile acidity. Thick, layered, dried fruits with a strong animal and damp-hay note. Not as complete as the 1962 tasted alongside, if you please.

Sheer perfection: creamy, honeyed, orange blossom bouquet of impenetrable depth; rich, perfect weight, flavour, balance and length, with another 20 years to go.

Château d'Yquem

Château d'Yquem is an absolute reference for great sweet wines and occupies a unique place in the winemaking history of Bordeaux. Located in the heart of the Sauternes appellation, the estate benefits from an exceptional terroir and microclimate favouring the development of botrytis cinerea. During the official classification of 1855, Château d'Yquem obtained an unrivalled status by being consecrated Premier Cru Supérieur, a unique distinction among the grands crus classés.

The identity of Château d'Yquem rests on an extreme requirement 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 standards 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 ageing capacity that can extend over several decades, or even beyond.
