1995 Chateau d’Yquem – Classical Sauternes with Enduring Grace
The 1995 Chateau d’Yquem exemplifies the estate’s singular ability to unite richness, balance, and longevity in Sauternes. Produced from painstaking vineyard selection and harvested berry by berry, this vintage reflects d’Yquem’s uncompromising standards and its enduring reputation as the world’s most revered sweet wine.
Tasting Notes
The nose unfolds gradually with aromas of dried apricot, citrus marmalade, honey, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is layered and precise, offering flavors of stone fruit, almond, and caramelized citrus supported by vibrant acidity. The finish is long and refined, revealing freshness and structure that continue to evolve with extended aging.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Chateau d’Yquem is composed primarily of Semillon, complemented by Sauvignon Blanc, grown on gravelly soils that promote concentration and complexity. Harvesting occurs over multiple passes to select grapes affected by noble rot at optimal ripeness. The wine is aged in new French oak barrels, allowing it to develop depth while preserving clarity and balance.
Investment & Collectibility
The 1995 vintage remains highly regarded among collectors for its classical structure and proven aging trajectory. As a wine with decades of life ahead, it continues to attract strong interest in the global fine wine market, supported by rarity and consistent demand.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 1995 growing season in Sauternes favored gradual botrytis development, resulting in wines marked by finesse rather than excess. Critics have praised the vintage for its harmony and long-term potential.
