Yquem 1979
Château d'Yquem, the living legend of Sauternes, embodies the excellence of Bordeaux sweet wines. The 1979 vintage, made from Sémillon (75%) and Sauvignon Blanc (25%) grapes, flourishes on a terroir of clay and gravel, cradled by the microclimate of the Ciron, ideal for noble rot. The traditional vinification is based on hand-picking and prolonged ageing in new barrels, sublimating the complex aromas. This vintage, shaped by a mild year, offers remarkable quality. On tasting, it reveals bewitching notes of honey, candied apricot and sweet spices, with a hint of vanilla. Its silky texture, balanced by lively acidity, is seductively long on the palate. Ideal with Roquefort or fruit tart, this Château d'Yquem 1979 is a treasure for lovers of great wines. Order this nugget for a legendary taste experience.
