Merchant's description

Château d`Yquem is widely considered to be one of the world`s greatest sweet wines, this is a wine with great balance and complexity, which can age for decades with ease. The botrytised Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes that produce this incredible wine are painstakingly harvested by hand, berry by berry. A rare find from the rich 1958 vintage, attesting to the magnificent history behind this world-renowned château.
