Chateau d'Yquem, Sauternes 1er Cru, 1995
Chateau d'Yquem stands alone — the only estate classified Premier Cru Superieur in 1855, the undisputed summit of Sauternes. Made from botrytized Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, picked grape by grape across multiple passes, these wines are among the most age-worthy on earth. The 1995 is a classically structured, well-balanced vintage — not the blockbuster of the late-'80s run, but elegant and long. At thirty years it has reached graceful maturity with plenty of life left. A profound treat for foie gras, blue cheese, or quiet contemplation.
