About Château d'Yquem 1962
Bottle (75cl)

The year 1962 started well at Yquem but the summer and autumn were particularly hot and dry, resulting in a late harvest. The harvest begins slowly in October and then accelerates in the middle of the month. It is on October 15th that the harvest really begins: during a full month, the grape harvest brings voluminous and very rich selection. Finally the 1962 vintage will be great!

Château d' Yquem 1962 shows an amber colour, with golden reflections.
On the nose, it distils fantastic and complex aromas of tropical fruits, quince, tea and fruit paste.
On the palate, the Château d' Yquem 1962 is rich and sweet. It distils an incredibly complex aromatic diversity of tropical fruits, honey, spices and a toasted note.
By tasting it on citrus fruits, it will put forward flavours of tea, on apples, it will offer caramel... Yquem 1962 is a multifaceted wine!

Château d' Yquem likes to amaze us with its own wines. This 1962 vintage is once again an astonishing wine of complexity. Every time you taste it, it is renewed, for our greatest pleasure!
