Château d'Yquem 1998 - From the Lur Saluces cellars
Sauternes - Premier Grand Cru Rated
95/100 parker
Maturity: 2018 - 2050
By Lisa Perrotti-Brown in 2018: "Pale gold in color, the 1998 d'Yquem has a flamboyant nose of allspice, candied ginger, honey and crème brûlée with a heart of candied lemons, tangerine zest and musk fragrance, and a hint of potpourri. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced, with an unfailing freshness that brings out the decadent sweetness (134.4 grams per liter of residual sugar), and culminates with layers of fantastically persistent exotic spices".
Exceptional Provenance: The Marquis de Lur Saluces Cellar
This bottle comes directly from the private cellar of Alexandre de Lur Saluces, an emblematic figure of Château d’Yquem. A descendant of a prestigious lineage, he was one of the greatest architects of Yquem’s renown, which he managed for over 35 years. Considered the guardian of the Yquem style, he left his mark on the history of Sauternes through his exacting standards and expertise.
Stored under ideal conditions (stable temperature, total darkness, controlled humidity), this wine benefits from perfect traceability and impeccable storage, a rarity for old vintages. Bottles from this historic collection are available in extremely limited quantities and represent a unique opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs of fine wines.
