Spring was abnormally cool and wet, which meant that flowering was very spread out – a factor conducive to complexity at Yquem. Summer was magnificent! Cool weather in September retained the grapes' freshness, whereas summerlike conditions returned in October. The harvest took place under ideal conditions. This 2013 is very \"botrytised\", with richness and candied fruit flavors. The wine's freshness and power are comparable to 2001 and the degree of botrytis is reminiscent of 2007. - Winemaker notes\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{\"\u003e98 WS; 98 WE; 98 JS; 97 RP; 95 D\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eChâteau d’Yquem is an extraordinary place, at the very heart of Sauternes, with a hundred hectares of vineyards are planted on a mosaic of different soils.

Therefore, only the best grapes sublimated by botrytis cinerea are picked, because this is the golden rule at Yquem: never look for simplification, or shortcuts, and accept the risk of losing everything.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atherton Wine Imports","offers":[{"title":"375mL","offer_id":50997368455479,"sku":"100074","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/0918\/2263\/files\/Yquem_13.heic?v=1770335856"},{"product_id":"1999-chateau-tirecul-la-graviere-cuvee-madame","title":"1999 Chateau Tirecul-la-Graviere Cuvee Madame","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCuvée Madame is the ultra-rare, late-harvest prestige cuvée from Tirecul-la-Gravière, the most decorated estate in Monbazillac, Bergerac's answer to Sauternes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eProduced only in exceptional botrytis vintages, this 1999 is one of the most extraordinary sweet wines in France outside of Bordeaux.

An unmissable rarity for lovers of great dessert wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tasting\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUtterly sensational, the 1999 Cuvee Madame is another dessert wine from this estate that’s a match for anything in the world today. Coming from miniscule yields of roughly 12 hectoliters per hectare and aged 20-30 months in barrel, it offers a bouquet of honeyed tangerines, blood orange, crème caramel, and marmalade, huge richness, and a viscous, opulent texture, yet no sense of heaviness or weight due to its acidity and incredible purity. This is a serious, tour de force in dessert that I wish I could pour for every reader. Its only downside is its miniscule production. It will keep forever.
