Reviews:

96/100   1986 d’Yquem offers the perfect balance of acidity and sweet, ripe, honeyed tropical fruit. Pineapples, crùme brulee, apricots, honey, grilled nuts and vanilla with freshness, sweetness and lift.-Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Vintage notes: "Chaotic weather beginning with flowering gave way to a hot, very dry summer. Mild temperatures and showers brought on a strong attack of botrytis and the first pass took place under a blanket of heavy fog. Noble rot spread far and wide with the arrival of 40 mm of rain in late October. The return of sunshine in November necessitated 30 days of intense work in the mist. This vintage illustrates the fabulous potential of years with a long Indian summer in Sauternes."

Producer Notes

Raised to the ranks of Premier Cru Supérieur appellation in 1855, Chùteau d'Yquem is the product of meticulous work in the vineyard. Since its beginnings, it has benefited from an exceptional terroir, as well as being the result of a unique ancestral know-how since 1593.
