Château d’Yquem is unparalleled in its consistency, quality and near limitless capacity to age, frequently earning it the status of the greatest white wine in the world. As Yquem is only produced in the finest vintages when conditions are conducive, there was no wine made in the 1951 and 1952 vintages. The 1953 yielded a beautiful crop of exceptional fruit that, whilst not necessarily the sweetest, produced a truly wonderful Yquem.
