AN EXQUISITE YQUEM VERTICAL
Whilst cataloguing and photographing this wonderful Yquem collection, we were amazed by the beautiful diversity of colours. Especially in this unique vertical you can see the evolution of this legendary wine. To see vintages like 1908 and 1948 in full original wooden cases is extremely rare. Of course the extraordinary 1921 Yquem which is now celebrating its 100th anniversary made us bow our heads to this unbelievable beauty. A truly unique collection. All bottles were stored in a temperature controlled private cellar in France. The owner is in close contact with the team at Yquem.
