100/100 Parker
When to drink this wine A mature wine.
Parker's tasting: ‘The 1847 Yquem would have received over 100 points if it had been possible. The wine is huge and massive, with a surprisingly youthful colour, remarkable honeyed and botrytised flavours, stunning richness and a finish that lasted over 40 seconds. The question is whether the current great vintages of Yquem will last as long. My answer is yes, although I doubt that any of my readers will live long enough to discover the taste of 1975, 1976, 1983, 1986 or 1989 at the age of 148! Last tasting 10/95
Terroir
The vineyard of Château Yquem has 113 hectares of vines. The terroir is at the highest altitude of Sauternes, which gives it a unique microclimate. The microclimate is critical, as it allows the easterly winds to move through the vineyard, helping to eliminate unwanted excess moisture, especially later in the growing season when noble rot sets in.
