Château d`Yquem 1987 is a sweet wine from the renowned Sauternes region of Bordeaux, known for being the only estate classified as Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 rankings. This vintage showcases the estate`s unique 113-hectare vineyard, primarily planted with 75-80% Sémillon and 20-25% Sauvignon Blanc, benefitting from ideal climactic conditions for noble rot. The 1987 vintage faced challenges that necessitated stringent sorting, yielding a medium-bodied wine. Notable components include honeyed apricot, tangerine, and a distinct nutty quality, underscoring the intricacies typical of Yquem’s vinification process.
