CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM 1963

Wine 1963 1er Cru Classé Supérieur  Bordeaux Sauternes

The 1963 vintage gave the winegrowers in the Sauternes a hard time. However, the unique know-how of Château d'Yquem has produced a very decent wine. For this, a strict selection of berries first during the various selections, then in the cellar. The result is a first class superior growth of great quality.

Dark brown. Recalls those sweet wines in the Soviet archive – a bit of rancio, a bit of compost. Macerated raisins and a strongly rancio/bitter finish. Slightly hard work. This would need very careful food matching. Not that sweet. Bit more like a madeira.

From a poor year, this wine is a bit odd, with flinty, smoky notes, but there's enough decent sweetness to rate it good, with some dried fruit flavours that finish with a touch of bitterness.

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 favour the development of botrytis cinerea. In the official 1855 classification, Château d'Yquem achieved an unrivalled status by being designated Premier Cru Supérieur, a distinction unique among the grands crus classés.

The identity of Château d'Yquem rests on an extreme level of rigour at every stage of production: very low yields, successive harvest passes (tries) and strict selection of grapes. Long the property of the Lur Saluces family, the estate has belonged since 1997 to the LVMH group, which has chosen to preserve the château's technical independence and historic standards of excellence.

In great years, Château d'Yquem produces vintages that have become iconic, such as the 1908 wine through to the 1921 vintage, considered its pinnacle, by way of 1928 and 1929 which close out a prosperous decade, then the 1937 wine and the 1963 vintage, illustrating an exceptional ageing capacity that can extend over several decades, or even beyond.
