Producer: Château d'Yquem stands alone as the world's most prestigious dessert wine, holding the unique Premier Cru Supérieur classification in Sauternes since 1855. The 2006 vintage exemplifies the estate's uncompromising pursuit of perfection, with grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) hand-selected berry by berry over multiple harvests. Under the ownership of luxury conglomerate LVMH since 1999, the château maintains its centuries-old traditions whilst benefiting from modern precision. This vintage showcases the exceptional microclimate of the estate's 113 hectares, where morning mists from the Ciron River create ideal conditions for botrytis development, producing a wine of extraordinary concentration, complexity, and ageing potential that can evolve magnificently for decades.
