Chateau d'Yquem 2003 Chateau d'Yquem 2003 Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classe Lot 6429-Lot 6430: Banded prior to inspection, tissue wrapped This is an atypical year, with its excessive heat and high temperatures, but it is a triumph for Pierre Lurton who came to Yquem after the harvest which was, very unusually, effected in one single 'trie', or picking. Brilliant selection in the vineyard and blending have produced an amazing orange honey nose, mixed with acacia. Stunning balance and elegance, which is a feat in a year of climatic extremes. Enormous length on the palate. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 6429 12 bts (owc) Lot 6430 12 bts (owc) per lot: HKD 17000-26000 per lot: USD 2250-3250 Experiencing Yquem is a journey into flawless excellence, into the heart of endless layers of richness, profundity and exotic flavours. Tasting Yquem is awe-inspiring, both for its beauty and also because of the constant awareness that this degree of opulence and concentration can only be achieved at the cost of immense skill, care and financial sacrifice. Making Sauternes, with its elements of botrytis and extreme ripeness, forever at the mercy of the weather, is always a fiendish pursuit, but making Yquem goes into new realms of endeavour - it is a world unto itself.
