Vinum Wine Magazine (10/2003) - Today I would add the 2007 mentioned above to the 2008, not quite as dense and powerful, but of absolutely stunning precision and finesse. Yquem in particular and Sauternes in general have produced wines of a quality and type that are unique in the world in recent years. 2007 is the preliminary high point. This wine should also be left to rest for a while, even if the Sauternes of recent years can be tasted practically from the first day of their life, similar to great champagnes. And yet they can mature forever and then develop the complexity that is characteristic of the great 1955, which I place before the legendary 1937 vintage. Happy who owns a bottle of it!

Very dark copper. Rich almonds on the nose and with enormous richeness, and real life. Very long and gorgeous. Real gras and very long. Round and voluptuous.

Most recently: seemed too deep for a vintage of the 1950s; hefty, classic, caramelised nose; sweet, full, complete, masked acidity, excellent finish.

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.
