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.

Marked by great freshness, the year 1946 is characterised by a historically dry winter and summer, impacting the maturity of the grapes, the development of Botrytis Cinerea, as well as yields.
