Sauternes - Château Yquem 2001

The domain

Yquemremains and will remain the greatest and most famous sweet wine in the world. For a hundred years, this unique Premier Cru Classé Supérieur has stood out from other Bordeaux wines with its exemplary consistency, even in small vintages and difficult periods. Under the direction of Pierre Lurton, already at the head of Cheval Blanc, the vintage has only produced great masterpieces for around ten years, deserving more than ever its status as a legendary wine .The particularity of Yquem comes from its unique terroir. Here, botrytis grows like nowhere else and offers absolutely marvelous Sauternes, with controlled sumptuousness and incredible gade potential that places it far ahead of all its neighbors. Yes, Yquem is a myth in itself and yes, the prices are high. But Yquem is excellence in its purest form: no lover of sweet wine should stop tasting it at least once in their life!
