Following Chateau Latour’s example, Chateau d’Yquem is pulling out of the en primeur campaign. d’Yquem (“dee-kem”), like Latour is at the pinnacle of their class in the wine world, both in price and in quality. d’Yquem however, focuses on incredible, sweet dessert wines. Latour takes the big reds. I think is only the beginning of the flood of top estates pulling their wines from selling futures. The rest are just getting their things in order.
