Sauternes 1er Grand cru Classe
Sweet White Wine
Half Bottle- 37.5cl

Yquem is indisputedly the best wine in Sauternes and may well be the finest sweet wine in the world.

*** 94 Points Cellar Tracker ***

Reviews
"There is always a high level of star gazing when a bottle of old Yquem shows up. Even an ok bottle like this makes you feel a million bucks. Dark caramel in colour. Apricots on the nose, sweet glycerin. On the palate it is well evolved full of ripe fruit, botrytis and although it is low in vitality it still makes for a superb experience. We can not be unbiased to the star gazing here but this is a good 94" CellarTracker.com
