Tasting

The elegance and expression of a balanced and delicate Sauternes grand wine
The estate
Located south of Bordeaux, the Château d'Yquem is one of the most beautiful references among the great Sauternes wines. 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 mild and dry winter gives way to a mild spring punctuated by stormy episodes in June. The summer is hot and with low rainfall. The rain recorded in early September gives way to a dry climate. The constant morning humidity, combined with mild temperatures during the harvest, ensures optimal development of botrytis.
Blend
Sémillon
Sauvignon blanc.
