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.

Our Delivery Service

We use reliable third-party express courier services and high-quality insulated packaging. While our couriers are generally excellent, occasional delays can happen. We pack everything to stay fresh, even if transit takes a little longer.

Time-Sensitive & Event Orders

Can we guarantee delivery on a specific day? Unfortunately not - we rely on third-party couriers and can't control their schedules. All items leave us in perfect condition with good use-by dates, but final timing depends on the courier.

If your order is for a specific event, let us know in the notes section at checkout. We can often dispatch a day earlier to give you the best chance of timely arrival.

DELIVERY Changes After Dispatch

Once dispatched, your package is with the courier and we're unable to redirect it or change delivery details.

Saturday Delivery

Saturday delivery is available, though please note our couriers don't operate phone support at weekends and our office is closed. For event-critical orders, a weekday delivery gives us more flexibility to help if any issues arise.
