Château d’Yquem 2003 Sauternes 1er Cru Supérieur

Château d'Yquem, located in the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux, France, is world-renowned for its exceptional sweet wines. With a history dating back to 1593, the estate has long been recognized for its unique terroir, situated on a hilltop with well-draining gravel and clay soils that are perfect for cultivating Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc.

The region's misty mornings and warm afternoons encourage the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which concentrates the grapes' sugars and flavours. Château d'Yquem was classified as a Premier Cru Supérieur in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, the highest possible ranking, highlighting its unparalleled quality and longevity. Its wines are celebrated for their complexity, richness, and remarkable ability to age for decades.

The blend traditionally consists of 75% Sémillon and 25% Sauvignon Blanc and is matured in 100% new French oak barrels for 30 months.
