Description

Château d'Yquem 1989

Sauternes, 1er Grand Cru Classé

In original tissues, 3 very slightly sunken corks otherwise good general appearances, importer's details on back labels in Traditional Chinese


In 2024, an intense bouquet of orange peel nobility, taking up its position in the middle of a stellar trilogy of Yquem vintages. Total walnut, orange and vanillin richness on the palate, with perfect equilibrium, seductive silkiness and allure, followed by a great uplift of freshness at the end. An extraordinary match with Eton Mess! Serena Sutcliffe, MW

2018年品嚐,配搭可口的挪威奶油蛋糕,入口柔順肥滑,一如以往。被陽光烘焦的檸檬香,收結甜如蜜而不膩,如輕霧般驀然散去,尤顯平衡和諧。餘香漫漫,令人愉悅。施慧娜(葡萄酒大師M.W.)

Provenance

Immersed in the vibrant world of hospitality and gastronomy from a young age, the collects or has cultivated a sophisticated palate, a deep appreciation for classic wines, and an unwavering commitment to quality. A successful entrepreneur and esteemed wine connoisseur, he is also renowned as a hotel and restaurant operator. His discerning taste shines through in this exceptional collects ion. 


This remarkable collects ion features some of the most exquisite Bordeaux Classified Growths and gems from legendary vintages such as Mouton Rothschild 1982, Latour 1982 and Petrus 1989. It also includes distinguished Champagnes from renowned houses such as Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1995 and Krug Clos du Mesnil 1990. Complementing these are wines from the iconic Domaine de la Romanée-Conti from 1991 and 1993. Offered in generous parcel quantities, this collects ion is a true celebration of elegance, tradition, and excellence.


Most of the collects ion has been acquired over the past three decades from UK and local wine merchants. Almost 100% of the wines were purchased more than 20 years ago. Vintage 1995 and onwards such as Mouton Rothschild and Comte de Champagne were mostly ordered and purchased on release in parcel quantities. The wines have been professionally stored in two professional, temperature-controlled cellars in Taipei since.
