About this product


Château d'Yquem, the undisputed greatest sweet wine in the world. Since 1593, only two families have owned the prestigious Château that sits in a commanding, fortress like, position overlooking most of Sauternes. Only highly skilled and permanent workers tend the vineyards that produce fruit of compelling concentration and intensity. The 1998 d'Yquem was made in an elegant style with wonderfully sweet aromas of crème brulee, pineapples, apricots and white flowers. Medium to full bodied, gorgeously pure, precise and complex.
