Château Yquem Sauternes 1er Cru Classé Supérieur Branco 2003 Fortificado

Description

Yquem remains and will continue to be the world's greatest and most famous sweet wine. For a hundred years, this single Premier Cru Classé Supérieur has stood out from other Bordeaux wines thanks to its exemplary consistency, even in small harvests and difficult periods. Under the direction of Pierre Lurton, who was already heading Cheval Blanc, the vineyard has only produced masterpieces in the last ten years, earning more than ever its status as a legendary wine. Yquem’s uniqueness comes from its terroir. Here, botrytis develops like nowhere else, delivering absolutely marvelous Sauternes with controlled opulence and an incredible aging potential that puts it far ahead of all its neighbors. Yes, Yquem is a myth in itself, and yes, the prices are high. But Yquem is excellence in its purest form: any lover of sweet wines should taste it at least once in their lifetime.
