EnquiryProducer Profile
Chateau d’Yquem
Sauternes can be a difficult place to navigate around, and you often find yourself using Yquem as a kind of viticultural North Star, standing as it does at the highest point of the appellation, its medieval stone turrets softened by the spreading leaves of the cedar tree that stands just to one side.
The tree was planted by recovering soldiers during World War Two, when the chateau was temporarily used as a military hospital, and today is just one small part of a beautiful botanical garden that lies behind the stone walls.
Producing perhaps the most famous sweet wine in the world, Yquem is owned by luxury goods house LVMH, with the impeccably turned-out Pierre Lurton as director. Yquem has 113 hectares of vines, but only 100 hectares are in use at any one time, with plantations of 80% sémillon and 20% Sauvignon blanc.
Standards at all 1855 First Growth estates (Yquem is famously Premier Cru Classé Superieur, so theoretically one notch ahead of the red wine First Growths) are legendary – and put that together with the meticulous attention to detail needed for all Sauternes, and you really have a whole lot of manpower going on. Vineyard work is all done by hand, and grape pickers during harvest will visit each row of vine up to ten times, carefully selecting only the berries that have reached the perfect state of ‘noble rot’, where they have been shriveled almost to raisins, but still with a touch of lusciously concentrated juice inside. Yields are low, as at all Sauternes properties, and can vary from 3 or 4 hectolitres per hectare to 15 hectolitres depending on if the weather conditions play ball. And as befits a vineyard where such care is taken, all fertiliser is organic and used sparingly, with no chemicals ever applied.
In the cellars, fermentation stops naturally, leaving an average of 125grams per litre of residual sugar, but reaching up to 140g in some years (not that you’d know – a signature of this wine is its delicately sour notes of citrus and lime blossom, that cut through the honeyed sweetness). Its ageing abilities are legendary, easily hitting a century in the best vintages.
The wine maker, Sandrine Garbay, has been making the wine here since 1998 (the previous cellar master was at Yquem for 44 years), with Denis Dubourdieu – who owns Chateau Doisy Daene, as well as being a professor at the institute of oenologist – as consultant winemaker.
There is no second wine, but the chateau produces a fantastic dry white wine, called Y d’Yquem, made from 50% sémillon and 50% Sauvignon blanc.
