Chteau d'Yquem--Vintage 1967
Sauternes, 1er grand cru class. Chteau-bottled
Lots 178 and 179 very good appearance. Lot 180 two with excellent appearance and two good appearance. Lot 181 three with remains of original tissues and straws and two labels damaged. Levels into neck This is the sort of year that makes Sauternes what it is, the weather transforming a risky vintage for reds into a superb late autumn ripening period, with botrytis, "noble rot", for the sweet whites. Lur-Saluce's favourite vintage and certainly a beauty. Tasted and drunk on nearly fifty occasions and always a treat though the colour and weight does seem to vary slightly. A superb bottle, orange blossom and barley sugar, at a pre-sale tasting at Christie's in New York, April 1995. MB
