Chateau d'Yquem 2003 Chateau d'Yquem 2003 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classe 4 slightly soiled and 1 slightly scuffed label This is an atypical year, with its excessive heat and high temperatures, but it is a triumph for Pierre Lurton who came to Yquem after the harvest which was, very unusually, effected in one single 'trie', or picking. Brilliant selection in the vineyard and blending have produced an amazing orange honey nose, mixed with acacia. Stunning balance and elegance, which is a feat in a year of climatic extremes. Enormous length on the palate. SS. Lot 1470 11 bts (owc) per lot: USD 1600-2250 Quantity: 1
