Sauternes - Chateau d'Yquem 2020 3L (Double Magnum)

The estate

Yquem remains, and will remain, the greatest and most famous sweet wine in the world. For a hundred years, this one-of-a-kind Premier Cru Classé Supérieur has stood out among other Bordeaux wines for its exemplary consistency, even in lesser vintages and difficult periods. Under the direction of Pierre Lurton, who also heads Cheval Blanc, the estate has produced nothing but great masterpieces for the past decade or so, more than ever deserving its status as a legendary wine. Yquem's distinctive character comes from its unique terroir. Here, botrytis develops as nowhere else and produces absolutely marvelous Sauternes, with perfectly balanced opulence and incredible aging potential that puts it far ahead of all its neighbors. Yes, Yquem is a legend in its own right, and yes, the prices are high. But Yquem is excellence in its purest form: no sweet-wine lover should miss the chance to taste it at least once in their life!
