The Botrytis is Coming, The Botrytis is Coming!
The 2001 Chateau d’Yquem Sauternes was released today, and some distributors have already set the price at 330 Euros, or about $397 US. This is quite a jump up from the pricing of the 1999 offering of about $178 US, as it very well should be, receiving rave review from Robert Parker who scored it 100 pts and called it “legendary”.
