2006 Château d’Yquem - Sauternes 1er Cru Supérieur - 6

Château d’Yquem is an extraordinary place, nestled in the heart of the hills of the Sauternes appellation, rich with a hundred hectares of vineyards planted on a mosaic of gravel-sandy soils. While the estate covers 113 hectares of vines, the vineyard in production spans about 100 hectares, benefiting from warm and dry soils on the surface with large pebbles. The clay soils, on the other hand, allow for good water reserves.
