History and character

Château d'Yquem is the only Sauternes wine classified as Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 classification. For over two centuries the estate has belonged to the Lur-Saluces family; today it is part of the LVMH group.

Sauternes produces sweet wines from grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), based on Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.
