France

"French wines are indissociable from the land on which they grow; they are also a natural reflection of those who make them. From Nice to Bordeaux, from Arbois to Cognac, from Toulouse to Strasbourg, France’s regions are full of lively, joyful and mouth-watering stories in which wine plays a starring role. The following names have built a reputation on terroirs that are unbelievably varied, and each has found in its region of choice land that is conducive to expressing its uniqueness. Enjoy exploring. Bon voyage!" - Vins de France

    Region: France- Bordeaux- Sauternes Barsac

    Robert Parker 100 points!"There are 10,000 cases of this perfect sweet white Bordeaux. The 2001 Yquem reveals a hint of green in its light gold color. While somewhat reticent aromatically, with airing, it offers up honeyed tropical fruit, orange...

    Robert Parker 95 points!"The 1998 Chateau Yquem was released several months ago. This estate does not allow tasting from cask (where the wine spends 42 months), and it is not released until five years after the vintage. The 1998 Yquem (95 points) is a...

    Region: France- Bordeaux- Sauternes Barsac

    Robert Parker 96 points!"A sensational Yquem, 1997 may be this estate's finest effort since 1990 (although I would not discount the 1996 turning out to be nearly as good). The 1997's light gold color is accompanied a gorgeous perfume of caramel,...

    Region: France- Bordeaux- Sauternes Barsac

    Robert Parker 95 points!"Compared with the flamboyant aromatics of the 1997, Yquem's 1996 plays it closer to the vest, although there is a lot going on. Light gold with a tight but promising nose of roasted hazelnuts intermixed with creme brulee, vanilla...

    Robert Parker 99 points! "1990: An extraordinary effort, Yquem's 1990 is a rich and fabulously superb, sweet wine. This wine also possesses lots of elegance and finesse. The wine's medium gold color is accompanied by an exceptionally sweet nose of...

    Robert Parker 99 points!"The 1988 is a more backward-styled Yquem than the 1989, built along the lines of the extraordinary 1975. With a honeyed, smoky, orange/coconut/pineapple-scented nose, this powerful wine possesses full body, layers of highly...
