On 22 March 2022, the 2019 vintage of Château d’Yquem will be released. This is a later launch than normal, following Pierre Lurton’s announcement last September that the new release would be held back in order to launch LMVH’s new ‘Lighthouse’ project.
At a tasting in London on 9 February 2022, cellarmaster Sandrine Garbay and LVMH’s sales and marketing director, Mathieu Jullien, introduced the new concept, the 2019 vintage, and a range of older vintages for comparison.
