CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM 1926
Features
Château informations
Château d'Yquem is a highly renowned Bordeaux wine estate. The Château mainly produces a great sweet wine as well as a white wine called "Y".
Since 1593, Château d'Yquem has been perfecting and passing on its expertise. This is how it stands alone as a Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 classification. The other classified Sauternes and Barsac occupy the ranks of Premier Cru Classé and Deuxième Cru Classé. Previously owned by the Lur Saluces family, Château d'Yquem has belonged to the LVMH group since 1997.
In pursuit of excellence, Yquem does not market its wine if the quality is not deemed sufficient. This has resulted in great vintages marking history such as 1921, 1937, 1945, 1947, 1959, 1975, 1976, 1983, 1988, 1997, 2001, 2009.
The wines are characterized by their complexity due to a significant amount of residual sugars and aromas brought by Botrytis Cinerea. A relatively high acidity helps to balance the sweetness. Another characteristic for which Château d'Yquem is renowned is its longevity. In good years, a bottle will only show its exceptional qualities after one or two decades in a cellar, and with care it will keep them for a century or more, adding complexity.
