1975 Chateau d'Yquem Sauternes 750ml
Located in New York
HK$6,192
Out of stock
A 99-pointer according to Robert Parker, the 1975 d’Yquem is a deep, golden elixir just oozing with “notes of cashew butter, manuka honey, dried apricots, musk perfume and fallen leaves over a core of spice cake, applesauce, fungi and lemongrass. The palate is laden with bright, vibrant stone fruit and preserved citrus fruit flavors, laced with honey-nut accents and finishing provocatively earthy. While intense and hedonically satisfying, this beguiling vintage has so many nuances emerging as it unfurls, it stops you in your tracks.” This is a lifetime bottle of Sauternes, inimitable by any other wine or winemaker on the planet.

Reviews & Scores
The 1975 Yquem vies with the 1976 for supremacy. It was picked over three tries and finished not until 17 November, a small crop of rich berries. At 45-years of age it has lost none of its potency. It bursts from the glass with quince, Tokaji Azsú, Clementines and a hint of stem ginger, all beautifully defined. The palate is nicely-balanced with a fine bead of acidity cutting a swathe through the layers of botrytised fruit. Light saffron and white mushroom notes intermingle with chamomile towards the finish that fans out beautifully. This remains a magnificent Yquem. Tasted at La Trompette in London. (NM) - VM

Deep gold in color, the 1975 d'Yquem gives up initial notes of cashew butter, manuka honey, dried apricots, musk perfume and fallen leaves over a core of spice cake, applesauce, fungi and lemongrass. The palate is laden with bright, vibrant stone fruit and preserved citrus fruit flavors, laced with honey-nut accents and finishing provocatively earthy. While intense and hedonically satisfying, this beguiling vintage has so many nuances emerging as it unfurls, it stops you in your tracks. Make sure it is the very last wine of the evening, because once you taste this, everything else will pale into insignificance. Although this wine is currently well within its ideal drinking window, there's certainly no rush to drink well-preserved bottles. (LPB) - WA

The 1975 Yquem is one of my favorite vintages for current drinking, and this particular half bottle was just singing. The bouquet is deep, complex and very tangy, as it offers up a very refined mélange of apricots, honey, oranges, toasted coconut, crème brulée, soil tones, a very gentle framing of vanillin oak and a lovely topnote of citrus zest. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, impeccably balanced and hauntingly long, with great acids that lend cut and freshness to the flavors, superb mid-palate depth and great length and grip on the finish. A superb vintage of Yquem. - JG
