The most expensive of the wines in the list is the 1811 Château d’Yquem.

This was an extraordinary vintage at Chave, with outrageously high alcohols, but unbelievable balance.” Similarly Stephen Tanzer reviewer Josh Reynolds gave it a 99 plus in February 2007, describing it as “thick, chewy and almost ridiculously sweet, with the concentration, weight and fruit intensity of a great vintage port, yet with amazing freshness and energy.” I know several excellent tasters who think this is the single greatest wine they have ever tasted, and it is difficult to disagree. Parker’s most recent tasting of the wine reads: “Chave’s 2003 Hermitage Cuvée Cathelin merits a perfect score. Parker has tasted this wine twice and awarded it 100 out of 100 both times.
The cheapest drop of perfection is $2,789 (excluding sales tax) for the 2003 Domaine Louis Chave Ermitage Cuveé Cathelin.
Wine-Searcher mined its database of 1.5 million scores from more than 30 critics in search of these wines and found that just seven have an aggregate of 99 or 100 points. Robert Parker scored the St.-Émilion wine a 95-100 out of 100 while Jancis Robinson MW awarded it a meager 12 out of 20.īut on the odd occasion, wine reviewers reach a unanimous verdict on the greatness of a wine. Sometimes, they disagree entirely: the clash over the 2003 Château Pavie remains the most memorable discrepancy in recent years.
