The red wine Château d’Yquem, Premier Grand Cru Classé Supérieur, Sauternes AOC, Bordeaux, vintage 1967 from the winery Château d'Yquem has been rated in 2023 by Peter Moser with 100 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Bordeaux in France.
A legendary vintage, rightly considered the legitimate successor to the 1937. Known as an incredibly deep, opulent and multi-layered wine from a great botrytis vintage, this wine is now in perfect balance. It has thus needed over fifty years to reach its zenith, where it will now probably remain for decades to come. Intense gold with a reddish shimmer, an unmistakable Yquem bouquet on the nose, delicate notes of lanolin, ripe tropical fruits, spices, honey, fine oak, building up with air to an aromatic crescendo of superlatives. Perfectly balanced on the palate for all its complexity and power, making it appear light-footed and floating, a fine fruity texture of stone fruit, the typical bourbon vanilla, a wine you can literally sink into. Has everything that makes an extraordinary wine. (12/2023, drink - 2050).
