Château d'Yquem is a French winery located in the Sauternes region of Bordeaux. The winery has a long and rich history dating back to the 18th century when it was owned by the Lur-Saluces family. The estate was later acquired by LVMH in 1999 and has since been managed by Pierre Lurton.

Château d'Yquem is known for producing some of the world's finest sweet wines, particularly its Sauternes. The winery's vineyards are planted with a combination of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which are left on the vine until they are affected by noble rot, a fungus that concentrates the sugars in the grapes and gives the wine its characteristic sweetness.

The winemaking process at Château d'Yquem is meticulous and time-consuming. The grapes are hand-picked and sorted before being pressed, and the juice is then fermented in oak barrels. The wine is aged in oak for up to three years before being bottled.

Château d'Yquem's Sauternes is a complex and elegant wine with a rich golden color and aromas of honey, apricot, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and luscious with flavors of dried fruit, caramel, and spice. The wine has a long and lingering finish with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.

In addition to its Sauternes, Château d'Yquem also produces a dry white wine called Y d'Yquem. This wine is made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes and is aged in oak for up to 10 months. The wine is crisp and refreshing with aromas of citrus and white flowers and flavors of grapefruit and honey.

Château d'Yquem's wines are highly sought after and are considered some of the finest in the world. The winery's commitment to quality and tradition has earned it a reputation as one of the most prestigious wineries in Bordeaux.
