Château Yquem Sauternes 1er Cru Classé Supérieur Branco 2004 Fortificado

Description

Yquem remains—and will continue—to be the world’s greatest and most famous sweet wine. For a century, this sole Premier Cru Classé Supérieur has stood out from other Bordeaux wines thanks to its exemplary consistency, even in small harvests and difficult years. Under the direction of Pierre Lurton, already at the helm of Cheval Blanc, the cru has only produced great masterpieces in the last decade, deserving its status as a mythical wine more than ever. Yquem’s uniqueness stems from its terroir. Here, botrytis develops unlike anywhere else, producing absolutely wonderful Sauternes, with controlled opulence and 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 sweet‑wine lover should taste it at least once in their life.
