Description
The finesse and balance of a great Sauternes wine
The property
South of Bordeaux, the Château d'Yquem is one of the most beautiful references of the Sauternes appellation. This legendary Premier Cru Classé Supérieur enjoys an exceptional terroir and gives birth to globally sought-after sweet wines.
The vineyard
The 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. While the estate extends over 113 hectares of vines, the productive vineyard spreads over about 100 hectares, benefiting from warm and dry soils on the surface with large gravels. The clay soils, on the other hand, allow for good water reserves.
The vintage
After a cool and wet spring, summer sets in with high temperatures in August, followed by an autumn marked by a period of drought. These exceptional weather conditions allow the harvest to begin as early as September 29, which continues until November 19. The harvested juices display remarkable quality, making 1983 one of the very great vintages of Yquem.
Blend
This Château d’Yquem 1983 is the result of a blend of sémillon and sauvignon blanc.
