The Château d'Yquem vineyards stretch across clay-limestone soils, benefiting from a unique microclimate. The proximity of the Ciron River creates morning mists, promoting the concentration of the grapes. The vines, some several decades old, are carefully cultivated to obtain overripe grapes, essential for the production of these sweet wines. Each plot is worked in a way that respects the natural balance, guaranteeing consistent and exceptional quality.
The team's opinion
The Château d'Yquem 2006 is a true work of art, a symphony of flavors that enchants the senses.
