Wine Secrets

Chateau D'Yquem 1997, 1er Grand Cru Sauternes
Here’s a few reasons why d’Yquem is so expensive. In 1997 the pickers spent 45 work days per hectare just to harvest the grapes. They (combined) walked 4,500km through the vineyards and spent around 36,000 hours on the vintage. Grapes were picked berry by berry! There’s a famous saying with Yquem that it takes one vine to produce one glass of wine.
In 1997, seven vines produced one glass of wine and 80 vines produced one 750ml bottle. Here’s the most important reason: Château d’Yquem is the world’s best sweet wine. Everyone deserves to taste Yquem at least once in their life. The truly privileged taste it once a week. 95+ points. Robt. Parker - The Wine Advocate.

Even better by the 6 litre bottle!
