Lively and lovely colour ; very curious, highish tone nose, chocolatey, then slightly sickly vanilla ; equally odd peach-skin flavour. very dry finish.

Jancis Robinson January - 2014

A quite extraordinary wine in every sense. It came at the end of a series of Cheval Blancs of vintages ending in 0. This wine gained its place because it was – gasp – 100 years old. By this stage in its life it was not all that sweet but had amazing balance and refreshment value. Very pale tawny with a red tinge and so very, very lively. Quite extraordinarily reverberant for its age. Still very much alive and kicking.

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.
