Château Yquem Sauternes 1er Cru Classé Supérieur Branco 1991 Fortificado

Description

Yquem remains, and will continue, the largest and most famous sweet wine in the world. For a century this sole Premier Cru Classé Supérieur has distinguished itself from other Bordeaux wines with its exemplary consistency, even in small vintages and challenging years. Under the guidance of Pierre Lurton, already at the helm of Cheval Blanc, the estate has produced only great masterpieces in the last decade, deserving more than ever its status as a mythical wine. Yquem’s uniqueness stems from its terroir: here botrytis develops like nowhere else, offering absolutely marvelous Sauternes with controlled opulence and an incredible aging potential that puts it far ahead of all its neighbours. Yes, Yquem is a myth in itself and yes, prices are high. But Yquem is excellence in its purest form: no sweet‑wine lover should miss tasting it at least once in their life.
