Bottle of Château d’Yquem, Premier Cru Supérieur of Sauternes, vintage 1954.

Grape varieties: Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

Fill level: high shoulder.

Label condition: original label present, stained and showing signs of age and wear. The main inscriptions and vintage remain clearly legible.

Capsule condition: original aged capsule, showing significant wear and corrosion consistent with its age, but still present. The “Mis en bouteille au Château” inscription remains partially visible on the upper part of the capsule.

Bottle size: 75 cl.

Bottling: Château bottled.

The bottle also bears an old selection and shipping label from A. Mérigot-Vennat, wine merchant in Saint-Estèphe, Haut-Médoc.

The wine displays a deep amber/mahogany colour consistent with its considerable age. The bottle is offered in its current condition, exactly as shown in the photographs. The photographs form an integral part of the description and clearly show the fill level, label, capsule and overall condition.

As this bottle is more than 70 years old and its complete storage history is not documented, no guarantee can be given regarding the condition or organoleptic qualities of the wine upon opening.

A rare old vintage of Château d’Yquem, suitable for a collector or for an enthusiast wishing to experience a mature Sauternes of this age.

Careful and secure shipping with appropriate protection for an old and valuable bottle.
