Château d'Yquem 1996 (0.375 l)

Tasting notes

"(...) Light gold with a tight but promising nose of roasted hazelnuts intermixed with creme brulee, vanilla beans, honey, orange marmalade, and peaches, this medium to full-bodied offering reveals loads of power in its restrained, measured personality. There is admirable acidity, weight, texture, and purity in this impeccably made Yquem.(...)"

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

The Yquem estate comprises 188 hectares, of which 110 are planted to vines and 105 are generally in production.

Only the portion of the harvest judged to be perfect is bottled under the Château d'Yquem label, and in certain years the entire harvest may be declassified. This was the case, for example, in 1964, 1972, 1974, 1992 and recently in 2012.

In certain years, Château d'Yquem produces a small amount of dry white wine composed of 50 % Sauvignon and 50 % Sémillion: Y, whose bouquet and power make it stand out among the white wines of Bordeaux.

Production 100'000 bottles ;

Surface 105 ha ;

Wine variety 80 % sémillon, 20 % sauvignon;

Best vintages 2009, 2007, 2001, 1990, 1988, 1986, 1975, 1945, 1847, 1811.
