Served from an ex-chateau bottle. Sauternes only produced two exceptional wines in 1982: Suduiraut and Yquem. Although I have encountered the 1982 Chateau d’Yquem on three occasions, this is the finest bottle. It was an early vintage, physiological ripeness reached on September 16. Rainfall interrupted the harvest that really could not start in earnest until November 2, for just four days.

Sauternes 2eme Cru Classe

Tasting Notes from Cellar Tracker (2017) Good fill level, not decanted. Clear, salmon-amber color. Needs lots of air to open up and offers the wonderful perfume that only a truly great Sauternes can produce: Notes of honey, herbs, spices, all woven into one complex blend. The sweetness has perfectly blended in over the last half century and is balanced perfectly by the high acidity. Very mulit-layered and extremely complex. Toffee, coffee, honey, spices, figs and much more. Astonishingly everything is at its right place, all components of acidity, flavors and alcohol are perfectly integrated. …

1er cru classe, Barsac
Sweet white wine

The 2002 Château Climens is a graceful and delicately styled Barsac, reflecting the cooler, more classical character of the vintage. The nose opens with lifted aromas of citrus zest, white peach and fresh apricot, layered with notes of acacia blossom, honey and subtle vanilla. It is refined and beautifully aromatic, with Climens’ hallmark purity clearly on display.

On the palate, the wine is elegant and finely textured rather than overtly rich. Flavours of candied citrus, pear and light tropical fruit are supported by vibrant acidity, giving the wine a clean, refreshing profile. Hints of honey, almond cream and gentle spice add depth without heaviness, making this a wonderfully balanced and food-friendly Sauternes/Barsac. …

Sauternes 1er Cru Classe - Half Bottle

Chateau d`Yquem is often described as the greatest sweet wine in the world. After centuries of family ownership, Yquem was finally sold in acrimonious circumstances to Louis Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy in 1999. However, its former owner and director Alexandre de Lur-Saluce remains in charge. Yquem is located on the highest hill in Sauternes and enjoys the best growing conditions in the whole appellation. The 110-hectare vineyard is planted with 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Only fully botrytized fruit is picked by the 150 highly skilled pickers and yields are so low that each vine produces only one glass of wine. …

Sauternes 1er Cru Classe

Only 25,000 bottles of Yquem were made in this very tough Sauternes vintage. A truly valiant effort from this fine property.

"The millennial 2000 Chateau d’Yquem is a valiant effort in one of the most challenging Sauternes vintages in recent memory. The 2000 is quite deep in colour. The nose is crisp and well-defined but not the most complex, as you would expect from a truly challenging growing season in Sauternes. It is pleasant in its own way with delicate scents of tangerine, yellow flowers and Mirabelle. The palate is well-balanced with marmalade tinged opening. I like the acidity here, an Yquem with good race, although it does feel a little tapered toward the finish. …

Château Liot is a 20-hectare property producing on average 5,500 cases per year. It is located in the south-west of the Barsac appellation and its vineyards border those of Château Climens.

1er Cru Classe Barsac

The 1969 Château Climens is a compelling example of Barsac's Premier Cru Classé, offering insight into the estate's resilience during a less heralded vintage. Despite the challenges of the 1969 harvest, this wine showcases Climens' dedication to quality and its unique terroir.

In the glass, the 1969 Climens presents a deep amber hue, indicative of its age and the oxidative development characteristic of mature Sauternes. The nose reveals aromas of Satsuma, apricot, and a touch of brown sugar, suggesting a wine that has retained its vibrancy over time. On the palate, it offers citrus freshness with notes of dried peaches and apricot, culminating in a tangy finish. …

*** 99/100 Points -Lisa Perrotti-Brown for the Wine Advocate, 30th Aug 2019 ***

Displaying a gorgeous deep amber-gold color, the 1967 d'Yquem slips sensuously out of the glass with a profound perfume of dried mandarin peel, allspice, praline, cinnamon toast and orange blossoms plus hints of gingerbread and accents of lemon butter. The palate is simply electric with citrus and spice-sparked energy, delivering youthfully vibrant notes with a tantalizing floral undercurrent.
