Château d'Yquem
Visit Château d'Yquem was a family estate until 2004, run from 1967 by Alexandre Lur-Saluces, who helped make it the world's most famous sweet wine, not least for its exceptional qualities, which have been consistent for over 100 years.

Visit Château d'Yquem was the first Sauternes AOC to be promoted to Premier Grand Cru Supérieur in 1855. Today, Château d'Yquem belongs to the LVMH group, and is run by Pierre Lurton, who is continuing with talent an adventure that is more than two hundred years old.

"A legendary wine rated 100/100 by La RVF".

"A very classic Yquem. A breathtaking spectrum of floral aromas of honey, exotic fruits (passion fruit, mango and pineapple), caramel and marzipan. But none of this is too much. In fact, the wine is extremely precise and finely nuanced. Wonderful freshness and textural complexity, despite high concentration and extravagance. Very suave, sensual finish that goes on and on. To drink or to keep." (James Suckling 2019) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 3 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

"Delicious now despite age-old aging potential!"

"Its intense perfume explores a register of candied orange, with a fine pastry note. This vintage was aged 3 months longer than previous vintages, for a total of 24 months. As a result, the fruit and wood duo is more melted and better integrated. Pure and dense, the liqueur seems to be poised with fine bitters. A liqueur that's full and bright, yet intense and digestible. A great Sauternes that should be drunk young for pleasure alone, despite its age-old ageing potential". (La Revue du Vin de France 2023) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

"Completely refined by its ageing, this wine touches the sublime with its flavor, texture and inimitable blend of opulence and freshness. It's hard to imagine a more perfect expression of this fine vintage in Sauternes".
