Characteristics and tasting advice for Château d’Yquem 1947
Tasting
Despite particularly hot and dry summer conditions, reminiscent of the year 1929, this vintage seduces with its richness and elegance.
A Sauternes wine combining complexity and refinement
The property
Located south of Bordeaux, the Château d'Yquem is one of the most beautiful references among the great wines of Sauternes. This legendary Premier Cru Classé Supérieur enjoys an exceptional terroir and gives birth to globally sought-after sweet wines.
The vineyard
Château d’Yquem is an extraordinary place, nestled in the heart of the hills of the Sauternes appellation, rich in a hundred hectares of vineyards planted on a mosaic of gravelly-sandy terroirs.
The vintage
A cool and rainy winter gives way to a hot and dry spring. The scorching summer is counterbalanced by a month of August whose clemency ensures optimal ripening. Harvest in 3 tries between September 20 and October 13.
