It is truly rare to find places on this earth that so perfectly unite the \u2018terroir\u2019 and the climate. <\/em><em>(Dico du Vin).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Chateau Yquem perfectly blends the strength and finesse of its remarkable \u2018terroir\u2019and was classified as a<em> Premier Cru Class\u00e9 Sup\u00e9rieur (<\/em>Superior First Growth) in 1855.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Yquem Ch\u00e2teau and cellars are located on the highest hill in Sauternes, at 75 metres <\/em>of altitude.<\/p>\n<p><strong>T<\/strong>he 206 acre vineyard enjoys ideal growing conditions.\u00a0 Its soils, composed of gravel and pebbles, retain the heat whilst also benefitting from natural sources of water regulation, balanced by the drainage system that has been present since the end of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> Century.<\/p>\n<p>The vineyard is planted with 75% Semillon and 25% Sauvignon grapes \u2013 the perfect alchemy, reflecting the local viticulture.<\/p>\n<p>Chateau d\u2019Yquem was acquired by Jacques Sauvage in 1593. Local archives from the Estate and the region already mention its late harvesting production technique.<\/p>\n<p>In 1785, the Estate passed to the Lur Saluces family when Fran\u00e7oise Jos\u00e9phine de Sauvage d\u2019Yquem married the Count Louis Am\u00e9d\u00e9ee de Lur Saluces who then died 3 years later.<\/p>\n<p>Fran\u00e7oise Jos\u00e9phine continued to develop the business, by adding a cellar in 1826, and further building the reputation of her wine which was already being produced by \u2018tries successives\u2019 (multiple passes) during harvest.<\/p>\n<p>The Lur Saluces family, and more specifically, Count Alexandre, continued the ancestral traditions of Chateau d\u2019Yquem for more than 35 years, despite a period in the 1970s that challenged them at both an economic and production level.<\/p>\n<p>In 1999, Chateau d\u2019Yquem was acquired by the LVMH group, led by Bernard ARNAULT, marking the start of the next chapter in the story of this unique estate.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #333333; text-decoration: underline;\">Interesting Facts\u00a0:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It takes an entire vine to produce a single glass of\u00a0 Yquem wine.<\/p>\n<p>Yields are extremely low, ranging from only 7 to 9 hectoliters per hectare depending on the vintage.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #333333; text-decoration: underline;\">The best vintages<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, it\u2019s all about the concept of risk-taking, pushing the boundaries as far as possible.
