Ch\u00e2teau d'Yquem 1er Cru Sup\u00e9rieur de Sauternes<\/h3>\n

Visit Chateau Yquem<\/a> is the most famous winery in Sauternes<\/a>. The 103-hectare vineyard produces around 100,000 bottles a year. This is a 1er Cru Sup\u00e9rieur<\/strong> according to Official classification of 1855<\/a> on the Sauternes AOC. Talk to the tasters, and they'll tell you that the pleasure of tasting Ch\u00e2teau d'Yquem is hard to put into words. It's a delicate, harmonious cru, with complex aromas and flavors. What is certain is that this is not a wine to be drunk in its youth. It's made for laying down, to the delight of tasters.<\/p>\n

Liquid gold from Ch\u00e2teau d'Yquem<\/strong> must wait 4 consecutive years before showing its face on the market. This is a non-negotiable rule for the Ch\u00e2teau, given its unrivalled quality standards. It can happen that 80% barrels are decreed unworthy of bearing the Yquem label, as was the case with the 1979 vintage. If you're lucky enough to open a bottle one day, you can be sure that you're looking at an elite wine in a bottle that has made it through all the selection stages with top marks.<\/p>\n
