Yquem may occupy the pinnacle of the sweet-wine world, but there are lots of well-priced alternatives. Three of my current favourites, made from Riseling, Chenin Blanc and Muscat respectively, are the complex, apricot-scented 2005 Paul Cluver Weisser Riesling Noble Late Harvest, Elgin (£9.99, local stockists from Seckford Wine Agencies, 01206 231188), the rich, waxy, refreshing 2003 Château de Fesles, Bonnezeaux (£13.99 per half, Oddbins) and the fortified, raisiny, ultra-concentrated Campbells Rutherglen Muscat (£7.99 per half, Waitrose).
