Château d'Yquem 2003 - From the Lur Saluces cellars

Sauternes - Premier Grand Cru Classé 

98/100 WS

Tasting this 2003 Yquem transports you to the tropics! Notes of mango, papaya, and pineapple are enhanced by a hint of marmalade. Long and very caressing to the very end, yet never heady or overwhelming, the accents of orange fruit paste, ginger, and almond add precision and clarity. This great wine displays all the warmth of the vintage, while retaining energy and dynamism. Impressive.

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 in 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.
