Château d’Yquem is a Premier Cru Supérieur Classé property in Sauternes, Bordeaux, renowned for producing sweet wines of unparalleled consistency, quality and near limitless capacity to age. 1963 was a complex vintage that was considerably late, meaning rigorous sorting of grapes was of paramount importance and an incredibly judicious selection of wines for the final blend was required.

Dark brown. Recalls those sweet wines in the Soviet archive – a bit of rancio, a bit of compost. Macerated raisins and a strongly rancio/bitter finish. Sightly hard work. This would need very careful food matching. Not that sweet. Bit more like a madeira. (JR)Jancis Robinson1st November 2022
