About Château d'Yquem 1977
Bottle (75cl)

The 1977 vintage was catastrophic for the harvests of Château d'Yquem. February was hot enough to trigger the growth of the vines, but the frost of 31 March stopped the process and destroyed 1/3 of the harvest. And unfortunately the setbacks do not stop there, since with the icy climate that has settled until September, only 30% of the harvest can be saved...

Despite all these difficulties, the 1977 vintage of Château d'Yquem is a great success.
With its traditional blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, Château d'Yquem 1977 has a superb intense yellow, slightly amber colour with golden highlights.
On the nose as on the palate, Yquem 1977 offers elegant and toasty aromas of ripe tropical fruit, dominated by pineapple, as well as greedy notes of butter and a hint of oak.

The story of this surviving wine is as interesting as its taste qualities!
