1975 Château d’Yquem | 750ml

The 1975 Château d’Yquem is widely regarded as one of the greatest Yquem vintages of the 20th century. A benchmark Sauternes with extraordinary concentration, purity, and longevity, this vintage showcases the estate’s unmatched ability to transform botrytized Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc into a wine of absolute timelessness.

The wine opens with deep aromas of apricot marmalade, honeycomb, saffron, crème brûlée, and dried tropical fruit, elevated by delicate floral notes and aged oak. On the palate, it is rich, powerful, and intensely layered, displaying flavors of candied orange peel, caramelized pineapple, almond cream, and warm spice wrapped in perfectly balanced acidity. After nearly five decades of evolution, the texture remains silky and opulent, with a finish that seems almost endless.

1975 d’Yquem is known for its remarkable structure and longevity, with many bottles still evolving gracefully. For collectors, investors, and lovers of legendary Sauternes, this vintage represents one of the most iconic expressions ever produced by Château d’Yquem.
