About This Expression
The only Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 Classification, standing alone above all other sweet wines. Yquem produces the world's most revered dessert wine through painstaking individual berry selection of botrytis-affected grapes, often requiring multiple passes through the vineyard over weeks. A single vine produces only one glass of Yquem.
