Château d'Yquem is truly one of one, and the 2023 vintage is as close to perfection as a wine can get. If you've been waiting for the right bottle, this is it.
The only wine classified as Premier Cru Supérieur ("Superior First Growth") in the historic 1855 Bordeaux Classification, Château d'Yquem stands alone at the pinnacle of Bordeaux. For more than 170 years, no other estate has earned this distinction.
It's hard to imagine a bad vintage of d'Yquem ever reaching the market, but even by its extraordinary standards, there are exceptional years—and 2023 is one of them.

We have just over a dozen half bottles available. While this is a wine with the structure and balance to evolve beautifully for a century or more, it's already remarkably expressive. The purity of fruit, electric acidity, and endless finish make it almost impossible to resist today. Whether you're adding a future icon to your cellar or opening a bottle to celebrate a special occasion, the 2023 Château d'Yquem is an unforgettable experience.
Once these are gone, they're gone.
