Ch d'Yquem 1988
Pierre Montégut, Technical Director of Chateau Suduiraut, and István Szepsy from Tokaj co-presented a fantastic tasting at VinCE, an annual trade and consumer wine weekend in Budapest, earlier this year.
The tasting showcased the similarities and differences between the two regions producing most sublime noble sweet wines. Sauternes and Barsac are nestled in the larger Bordeaux wine region and with their combined 2,240 hectares, they account for only 2% of all Bordeaux wines. In comparison, the region of Tokaj covers almost 6,000 hectares, but it does not enjoy the benefits of being part of a larger appellation producing some of the finest wines in the world.
