Sauternes - Chateau d'Yquem 2020 Magnum

The estate

Yquem remains, 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 apart from other Bordeaux wines with 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 uniqueness comes from its exceptional terroir. Here, botrytis develops like nowhere else, producing absolutely wonderful Sauternes with superbly 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 pure excellence: no sweet-wine lover should miss the chance to taste it at least once in their life!
