Jean-Marc Quarin February - 2000
Jean-Marc Quarin
Pale greenish-yellow colour. Nose of medium intensity. Discreet. Quite fine notes of sémillon and gingerbread. Touch of alcohol. Nuances of very fine honey and flowers. Lovely. More acacia on swirling. The temperature is 12°. What strikes one is the delicacy of the palate structure, soft, melting and refined, and then the taste is that of Sauternes but without the sweetness. It's the terroir! The whole is fine with a slightly oxidative touch. But the finish is beautiful, long and it's a fine and lively wine for an 85, which is rare.

Very ripe, spicy and dramatic, this pours out Sauternes-like fig, honey, tobacco and spice box aromas and flavours and finishes just off-dry and smooth.

Château Château d'Yquem
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.
