The only estate ever classified as Premier Cru Supérieur in the historic Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855, Yquem stands alone at the summit of Sauternes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts uniqueness lies in an extraordinary natural phenomenon: Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot, which shapes the estate's celebrated sweet wines. Y d'Yquem is the estate's dry white, made in select years from grapes harvested before botrytis sets in — a rare opportunity to taste Yquem's terroir and winemaking precision in a fresh, structured style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction across the estate is extremely limited, and in challenging years Yquem will choose not to produce its Grand Vin at all — an uncompromising commitment to quality that defines its legacy. Château d'Yquem is not simply a wine; it is a benchmark, a reference point against which all great sweet and dry wines from the estate are measured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Les Grands Chais de France","offers":[{"title":"6 x 750 ml","offer_id":46091806605382,"sku":"VSSK-04407-Case - 6 x 750 ml","price":1990.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 x 750 ml","offer_id":46091804901446,"sku":"VSSK-04407","price":349.8,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/5177\/8374\/files\/2021_Chateau_dYquem_Y_Ygrec_White_Bordeaux_bottle.webp?v=1785923889","url":"https:\/\/thevintageclub.sg\/products\/chateau-d-yquem-y-d-yquem-white-2021","provider":"The Vintage Wine Club Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
