"considered the greatest white wine in the world, château d'yquem wine comes from a small hillside that benefits from an exceptional microclimate and terroir. the vineyard, which comprises no less than 150 plots of different soils, is pampered throughout the year: each vine receives an average of 50 treatments per year. selection is particularly rigorous at yquem: it is often said that a vine produces only one glass of wine. the grapes are harvested in a minimum of four passes (seven in 1997!) in order to harvest the grapes at perfect maturity, affected by noble rot. the estate also produces a dry white wine, y d'yquem, from grapes not affected by botrytis cinerea. in some years, the entire harvest is downgraded (no yquem was produced in 1910, 1915, 1930, 1951, 1952, 1964, 1972, 1974, 1992 and 2012). the wine is aged for up to 42 months in new barrels. yquem... could there be a more famous name in the wine world and in the world of great meditation wines? because its history is not new and was born almost 400 years ago. the wine is produced on about a hundred hectares of the 113 that the property has. these are mainly planted with semillon (75%), itself completed with sauvignon blanc. the proximity of the vines to the ciron, a tributary of the garonne, allows the noble rot to develop under favourable conditions. once the grapes have reached the vineyard, they are meticulously picked by hand in successive selections before being vinified with skill, thanks in particular to at least three years' maturation in barrels. this wonderful wine has aromas of peach, pineapple, coconut, nutmeg and cinnamon, supported by the toast, caramel and vanilla flavours of new oak. with their extraordinary richness and concentration, yquem wines have extraordinary ageing potential. guitry said that ""after mozart the silence that followed was still mozart"". ""after a sip of yquem, the moments that follow are always yquem. (frédéric dard)."
