1986 White Bordeaux
Learn more about 1986 White Bordeaux
A great classic year in Sauternes, with a large crop of superb wines being produced. The summer was hot and dry and the first half of September was affected by heavy rains. There then followed a period of humid, misty weather, which lasted throughout most of October. Widespread botrytis produced rich, opulent and highly aromatic wines.
In character the wines are similar to those of 1983, yet the quality is more consistent than is found in the latter. The very best are powerful and long-lived and are only now approaching maturity.

Chateau d'Yquem,
Ready, but will keep,
"This is a fascinating effort.... ...Its enthralling bouquet of pineapples, sauteed hazelnuts, vanillin, and ripe apricots is breathtaking. Compellingly concentrated, the breadth as well as depth of flavor seemingly know no limits. This full-bodied, powerful, yet impeccably balanced Yquem should provide memorable drinking for 40-55 more years." (98/100 points- Robert Parker Jnr.)
