About

Château d'Yquem, located in Sauternes, Bordeaux, is renowned for its exceptional sweet wines. The vineyard, once owned by a Medieval king of England, began its current incarnation in 1593. It spans 113 hectares and is known for its unique terroir, featuring a mosaic of clay, clay/gravel, clay/limestone, and clay/sand soils. The grapes are handpicked multiple times to capture the perfect ripeness and noble rot, resulting in wines characterized by complexity, concentration, and sweetness balanced by high acidity. Château d'Yquem is celebrated for its aging potential, with some vintages lasting over a century if properly stored.
