The domain itself, dating back 400 years, is 113 acres. Its vines are pampered like a princess: they aren\u2019t subjected to any chemical processes, with their grapes inspected than hand-picked with great respect paid to an ancestral tradition that has been passed down for twelve generations. Two legendary French grape varieties can be found here: S\u00e9millon and Sauvignon. Subject to very unique meteorology, and paired with a variety of exceptional soils, the end result is this sweet wine that is both warm and light.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Taking a whiff of its golden robe, you\u2019ll instantly be filled with a sudden effluvium of intense fruits both ripe (mirabelle, apricot) and dry (fig, quince). This famed nectar also gives off scents of exotic notes of spiced mango forming subtle odors that tickle the nostrils as per comments of Yquem&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>chef de cave <\/em>Pierre Lurton. Its amplitude in the mouth is incomparable, for this wine is opulent. Not to mention its disquietingly complex refinement: a suave infinity, a velvet texture full of character yet ever so delicate, an exquisite softness that carries you away&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Ch\u00e2teau d\u2019Yquem is the first superior vintage of all those classed from Sauternes. Its submission to nature, to the capricious climate that beats down upon its hillside, is the foundation of its preciousness, its excellence, and its exclusive character. On an average of one year in ten, the domain, unsatisfied with the result yielded from its vineyard, foregoes bottling its harvest, after an entire year of impecunious, minute labor. This is what choosing the name Yquem means: standing with qualitative excellence that is rarely observed elsewhere. This highly prestigious wine is the incarnation of French luxury, and the typically French art of savoir-vivre. What fills any glass into which is poured this magic sap, this harmonious liquid, this ever so soft drink, is sheer greatness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">A mythical wine is a wine that causes emotions every time. Like Chateau d&#8217;Yquem, other areas such as those of <a href=\"http:\/\/icon-vrai.loc\/fr\/vins-et-spiritueux\/lex-meilleur-restaurant-du-monde-met-sa-cave-aux-encheres\">La Roman\u00e9e-Conti<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/icon-vrai.loc\/fr\/vins-et-spiritueux\/chateau-lafite-selon-le-marechal-de-richelieu\">Ch\u00e2teau Lafite <\/a>share a philosophy that is very respectful of nature thanks to the transmission of ancestral&nbsp;savoir-faire&nbsp;of men and women.
