Description

The 1949 Château d'Yquem is the highest part of the Sauternes region. It extends on 188 hectares with a vineyard of 125 hectares. The name of Yquem is known worldwide and the château protects and defends a unique way of life and culture for a unique wine.

Reviews:
Honey, burnt orange sugar, apricots, pineapples, vanilla and crème brulee soar from the glass. But, this wine is not produced in the style of modern Yquems. This does not have the nearly the same level of sweetness or viscosity found in the best vintages of the 80’s and 90’s. Perfectly balanced with the right amount of acidity to give it lift.

Condition

Excellent level, good colour, label very good for age
