Chateau D'Yquem 1985

One of the world’s most prized and enviable wines, Chateau d’Yquem is Sauternes’ only classified Premier-Cru-Supérieur.  Produced from a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, left on the vines until affected by the noble fungus, Botrytis Cinerea, which dehydrates the grapes to raisins, leaving only the sweet sugary pulp with which to make the most incredible sweet wine.  Owing to their stature, quality and desirability, for the sake of your health and your bank balance, please drink Chateau d’Yquem responsibly.

The 1985 Vintage for Chateau d'Yquem is something quite special due to the harvest conditions - a long drought right up until November meant that the required Noble Rot failed to materialise until the very last minute, the grapes were then finally picked in December, thus almost developing as a Noble-Rot:Ice-Wine hybrid.  A rarity amongst rarities!
