Château d’Yquem is a Premier Cru Supérieur Classé property that not only sits atop the highest hills in Sauternes, it also overshadows most other sweet wines in the world in terms of its extraordinary consistency, complexity and longevity. Widely considered to be one of the world`s greatest sweet wines, this is a wine with great balance and complexity, which can age for decades with ease.
91 Jancis Robinson
1991: Yquem's 1991 is a beautifully made, medium gold-colored wine with a gorgeous nose of creme brulee, roasted coffee, and sweet, honeyed pineapple and other assorted fruits. Full-bodied, unctuously-textured, and rich, but not yet revealing a lot of complexity or enormous weight. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2040.Robert Parker23rd April 1999
90 Vinous
The 1991 Yquem is my fourth encounter with this vintage that is better than the vintage reputation. This is more fragrant than the 1993 and 1994 on the nose, fig jam mixed with Aszú-like fruit, a subtle adhesive scent in the background. The palate is well balanced with a tangy entry and a keen thread of acidity, not a complex Yquem, but there is less abruptness than those aforementioned vintages. It is still Barsac-like on the finish, but it still leaves you wanting more. Drink now and over the next decade. Just 98 g/l residual sugar. Tasted at the château. Neal Martin28th May 2025
