Château Yquem Sauternes 1er Cru Classé Supérieur Branco 2007 Fortificado

Description

Yquem remains, and will continue to be, the greatest and most famous sweet wine in the world. For a hundred years, this sole Premier Cru Classé Supérieur has stood out among Bordeaux wines for its exemplary consistency, even in small harvests and difficult years. Under the direction of Pierre Lurton, who was already leading Cheval Blanc, the vineyard has produced only great masterpieces over the last decade, more deserving than ever of its mythical status. Yquem’s uniqueness comes from its terroir. Here, botrytis develops like nowhere else, producing absolutely marvelous Sauternes, with controlled richness 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: no sweet‑wine lover should miss trying it at least once in their lifetime.
