Description

Yquem is a Sauterne wine, but classifying it as such is akin to calling a vintage Bugatti an old car. It is the finest, the rarest and the most expensive of wines. Every step in the arduous processes of pruning, grafting, picking, selecting, fermenting, bottling, and shipping is done by hand, and done in the same time-consuming, fastidious manner practised over generations. Richard Olney's book explores the history and appeal of this most famous of wines.
