Château Yquem Sauternes 1er Cru Classé Supérieur 2019 Fortificado

Description

Yquem remains, and will continue to be, the biggest and most famous sweet wine in the world. For a hundred years this single Premier Cru Classé Supérieur has distinguished itself from other Bordeaux wines with its exemplary consistency, even in modest vintages and difficult years. Under the guidance of Pierre Lurton, already at the helm of Cheval Blanc, the estate has produced only great masterpieces over the last decade, more deserving than ever of its mythical status. Yquem’s uniqueness stems from its terroir: here botrytis develops in a way no other place can, producing absolutely marvelous Sauternes with controlled richness and an incredible aging potential that puts it well ahead of all its neighbors. Yes, Yquem is a myth in itself and yes, its prices are high. But Yquem is excellence in its purest form: any sweet‑wine lover should taste it at least once in their life.
