Collection d'Yquem 1982-1983-1984-1986-1988-1989

Collection d’Yquem 1982-1983-1984-1986-1988-1989 is a remarkable cellar selection from one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated estates, presented directly from the château in its original wooden case. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a vertical-style collection from Château d’Yquem, a name long associated with the pinnacle of fine Sauternes and a benchmark for luxury dessert wine.

Makuprofiili
As a collection of mature vintages, this set would be expected to show the classic evolution of great Yquem: golden to amber hues developing in bottle, with aromas that can range from honey, dried apricot and candied citrus to saffron, toasted nuts, marmalade and subtle caramel notes. On the palate, Château d’Yquem is renowned for its extraordinary balance between sweetness, freshness and structure, often revealing layers of stone fruit, exotic spice and refined acidity that keep the wines vibrant even after decades. The aging potential of Yquem is legendary, and these vintages are likely to demonstrate impressive complexity and longevity. Over time, the wines gain depth and nuance rather than losing character, making them prized by collectors who appreciate how beautifully great Sauternes can mature.

Viininvalmistus
Château d’Yquem lies in the heart of Sauternes, where a unique microclimate encourages noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) to concentrate the sugars and flavors in the grapes. The estate is primarily associated with Sémillon, supported by Sauvignon Blanc, and the fruit is traditionally harvested by hand in several selective passes to pick only perfectly botrytized berries. Vinification is meticulous and slow, with careful fermentation and élevage designed to preserve purity, precision and the wine’s hallmark richness.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
Serve chilled at around 8-10°C, ideally in a medium-sized wine glass to allow the aromas to unfold gradually. Château d’Yquem pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit-based desserts, tarte tatin, crème brûlée or simply as a contemplative wine on its own; decanting is generally not necessary, though an older bottle can benefit from gentle aeration if served very mature.

Tuottaja
Château d’Yquem is the most famous estate in Sauternes and one of the most iconic producers in all of Bordeaux. With a history stretching back centuries, it earned a singular reputation for crafting one of the world’s greatest sweet wines, and it remains the only Sauternes estate classified as Premier Cru Supérieur. Its consistency, rarity and ability to produce wines of exceptional longevity have made it a reference point for dessert wine collectors around the world.
