James Suckling and Estate Manager Lorenzo Pasquini of Chateau d’Yquem hosted a special dinner at James Suckling Wine Central in Hong Kong last month to celebrate the iconic Sauternes, known for their numerous 100-point ratings. Guests enjoyed a vertical tasting of legendary vintages straight from the chateau’s cellar, featuring the two latest releases (the 100-point 2021 and 2022) alongside the legendary 100-point 2001 vintage plus one of the greatest wines ever produced at Yquem: 1945 (100 points). The evening also featured two surprise bottles of the 1967 – one generously shared by a guest and another that James had coincidentally in his cellar. A specially crafted seven-course menu by Chef Albert Leung was served to complement the wines.
