Château d`Yquem 1942 is a mature-vintage noble sweet wine produced in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux. Located in the heart of the Sauternes appellation on Bordeaux`s Left Bank, Yquem is the most prestigious producer of sweet wines in the world, and the only Sauternes producer to be granted the status of `Premier Cru Supérieur`. The estate vineyard is planted mostly Sémillon, with a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc, as reflected in the wine`s blend. Harvest can involve up to 200 workers, who may pass through the vineyard up to 10 times to pick only those berries that have been infected with `noble rot`, the fungus which shrivels and dehydrates the grape berries, concentrating their sugars. This is a rare war vintage bottling of this most celebrated of sweet wines. "Most recently, very rich, heavily honeyed, toffee-like nose. Holding its sweetness with attractive raisiny flavour not unlike a mature 5 puttonyos Tokaji Aszu, with similar acidity." Michael Broadbent, 1998
