Château d'Yquem

Château d'Yquem is renowned for its exquisite Sauternes wines, famous for their richness and complexity. The primary grape varieties used are Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, which contribute to the wine's honeyed characteristics and vibrant acidity. Distinguished for its unique method of noble rot, the vineyard benefits from the presence of botrytis cinerea, enhancing the grapes' flavor concentration. The estate has a legacy dating back to the 16th century and is celebrated for producing some of the finest sweet wines globally, including the acclaimed Yquem Premier Cru Supérieur.
