What the critics say
85 VMVinous, Neal Martin, 07-07-2026
The 1936 Yquem is an extremely rare Sauternes. According to château records, the picking lasted from August 18 to November 4, dragged out by a lack of the rain (30 mm) necessary to trigger botrytis infection. Consequently, the grapes ended up lacking pourriture noble and became rather overripe. How frustrating that must have been for the pickers. Served alongside five other Yquem from the thirties, this is a little meagre on the nose with light rose petal and caramel scents. The palate is actually better, with a pleasing tang on the entry and a dab of marmalade. It is a pale imitation of a great Yquem and admittedly trails away on the finish. On the other hand, it is certainly not undrinkable, something I doubt you can say of any red Bordeaux born in this annus horribilis. Tasted at the château.
