Château D'Yquem
1929
A very dry year that became increasingly warm as the growing season went on. It was exceedingly hot even in September, with 14 days above 30°C. The harvest was a dream – the weather was so fine there was no need to stop at any point. The only risk was that sugar levels would climb too high, and the potential alcohol bordered on 26 degrees. 29 Yquem is a monument of power, richness, and with a deep amber colour that makes this wine immediately stand out.
