The 1939 Yquem proved that even in the most deplorable growing seasons the estate could still not only make a delicious Sauternes, but one that continues to give pleasure 76 years later. And the time-defying antics did not end there.
This remarkably fresh, frisky bottle looked and smelt like dark caramel. What life and power! Very, very rich and sweet – just what Yquem alone seems to be able to do: deliver concentration, complexity, super-refreshment and particularly apt longevity.
