CHÂTEAU D'YQUEM 1908

Wine 1908 1er Cru Classé Supérieur  Bordeaux Sauternes

To drink between 1935 and 2035

Château's note: Cool weather sets in throughout the growing cycle, apart from a brief spell of heat in May; one must wait until autumn and the return of warmth for the situation to finally improve; late September/early October, 3 weeks without rain allow 16 consecutive days of a high-degree harvest, then one last very beautiful selection around 15 October. A fine vintage.

Dark glowing, brownish amber. Ancient but very rich, powerful nose. Lots of muscular power. Not massively sweet though definitely some clean sweetness. Edge of citrus peel. So clean. Balance and wonderful freshness on the palate. Gorgeous finish. Worth drinking! Amazing undertow on the finish. Very gradually losing sweetness but not dangerously so. Long. Beautiful. Vigorous. Best wine of the tasting.

Château d'Yquem
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.
