Chateau d'Yquem is the only estate classified Premier Cru Superieur in the historic 1855 Sauternes ranking, the undisputed benchmark for botrytized sweet wine from Bordeaux. Made only when noble rot blesses the vineyard, each berry is hand-picked in successive passes, yielding extraordinary concentration that is famously cellar-worthy for decades. We offer the 2005 in a half-bottle, a perfect format to experience this legend's opulent yet vibrant, honeyed depth.
