That was one Premier Cru I managed to buy at a reasonable price once.
I got a bottle of Chateau d'Yquem 1959 (a very good year) for $10.00
in 1970. This was in Alberta, where the government liquor stores
bought wines on futures at the time. I'd come back from a year in
Europe and had done a lot of wine tasting and auxiliary learning, and
knew about Chateau d'Yquem. Apparently not that many other Albertans
did. So I picked up a couple of bottles, and had them with family.
Remarkable!
I hope they allow some tastings.
