Château d'Yquem-Sauternes & Barsac-Majestic Wine

Majestic's minimum purchase is 6 bottles of wine, Champagne and spirits. Delivery on mainland UK is free for orders over £40, or £5 for orders under £40.

Orders are delivered direct from the store closest to your delivery address. You'll be contacted within 24 hours to confirm the order and arrange the details. We turn around most orders within a day or two, although for addresses further from the store this may be longer (a maximum of 7 days).

If you have specific delivery requirements, use the 'Additional Information' box on the delivery details page to enter a message for the store team and they'll do everything they can to accommodate you.

Unfortunately there are some locations just too far away for us to deliver using store vans. Our Mail Order team despatch wines via courier to these locations. We can deliver our full range of wines, Champagnes and spirits (but unfortunately not beer, soft drinks or accessories). Customers in mainland UK still benefit from FREE delivery, and for customers in Northern Ireland, the Scottish Islands, Isle of Man and Isles of Scilly we charge £7.50 per case.

Feel free to mix Fine Wines with 'regular' wines to make up your order. However, at least 6 bottles must be Fine Wine products, because Fine Wines require special distribution from our temperature-controlled Fine Wine Centre in London. Original wooden cases not available outside the M25.

Description

"The 1998 Yquem (95 points) is a great success. Made in an elegant style, it is not a blockbuster such as 1990, 1989, and 1988. It is well-delineated, with wonderfully sweet aromas of creme brulee, pineapples, apricots, and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, it is not as sweet as the biggest/richest Yquem vintages, but it is gorgeously pure, precise, and strikingly complex. Already approachable, it should evolve for 30-50 years ... without a doubt." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 95 points
