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

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 managed by Pierre Lurton, who is continuing with talent an adventure that is more than two hundred years old.

"A prima ballerina of spellbinding delicacy and intensity!"

"Golden yellow color. Intense, fine, subtle, noble, fresh and complex nose. A touch of warm butter as it evolves in the glass. Meticulous on the attack, airy in the mid-palate, particularly aromatic, fat and melting, the wine gains a crazy energy between the middle and the finish. It's superb. It's superb.

"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 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

"Highly expressive, brilliant and absolutely balanced! ~ Favorite du Guide Hachette "

"Pale yellow color. Intense, fine, subtle, complex, deep and noble nose. This splendid aromatic ambience remains difficult to describe. The palate opens onto a world of airy subtlety. Very complex, silky, crystalline, the wine melts on the palate before offering, oh surprise, the roasted nobility of candied grapes on the finish. Impossible to spit out. (Jean-Marc Quarin 2022) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 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).
