ROBERT PARKER ” Pale gold colored, the 1998 d’Yquem features a flamboyant, rock-star nose of allspice, candied ginger, honeycomb and crème brûlée with a core of preserved lemons, mandarin peel and musk perfume plus a waft of potpourri. Beautifully balanced in the mouth, with seamless freshness lifting the decadent sweetness (134.4 grams per liter of residual sugar), it culminates with fantastically persistent layers of exotic spices. “

Exceptional Half-Bottle Heritage
The Chateau d’Yquem 1998 0.375L is an exceptional half-bottle release from one of Bordeaux’s most revered estates, famed for producing the world’s most exquisite Sauternes since the 17th century. This vintage stands as a testament to d’Yquem’s unparalleled mastery in crafting lusciously sweet yet balanced white wines, made even more exclusive by its limited half-bottle format.
Premium Craftsmanship & Quality
Crafted from 100% Sémillon grapes hand-harvested under ideal botrytis cinerea conditions, the Chateau d’Yquem 1998 benefits from meticulous selection ensuring impeccable quality. Aged in new oak barrels, it exhibits a complex palate with honeyed apricot and citrus notes underscored by vibrant acidity.
The half-bottle size offers versatile storage and aging potential, perfect for connoisseurs seeking premium tasting experiences without committing to a full bottle. This format enhances collector appeal by combining rarity with practicality, distinguishing it from standard releases.
Investment-Grade Collectibility
Chateau d’Yquem’s legendary legacy dates back over 350 years, renowned for producing investment-grade wines that define sweet Bordeaux. The 1998 vintage, while more accessible than rarer vintages, remains limited in 0.375L bottles, intensifying its market demand.
Its status within the wine community as a symbol of both opulence and craftsmanship ensures sustained collector interest and appreciation potential, making it a strategic addition to a fine wine cellar.
Exquisite Tasting Experience
Experience an enchanting bouquet of ripe peaches, honey, and subtle floral aromas on the nose. On the palate, it delivers a luscious texture balanced by bright citrus and hints of toasted almond, finishing long and elegant.
Serve chilled at 10-12°C to maximize its vibrant profile. Store horizontally in a climate-controlled cellar for optimal longevity. Pairs exquisitely with foie gras, blue cheeses, or delicate desserts, elevating any gourmet occasion into a memorable gastronomic experience.
