(The following is from the importer's materials.) Château d'Yquem is the only Sauternes wine to be ranked as Premier Cru Supérieur, the highest classification. The splendor of d'Yquem lies not only in its exceptional microclimate, but also in the uncompromising strictness of the people who run the château, and their tireless efforts to produce only "a d'Yquem worthy of being called d'Yquem." At the château, 150 pickers typically harvest fully ripe grapes over a period of six to eight weeks, at least four times a year. Even with this rigorously selected grape selection, any wines deemed unsuitable for release as d'Yquem during barrel aging are ruthlessly cut off, even if it means reducing production.

Chateau d'Yquem reigns at the top of the world's noble wines

Chateau d'Yquem is the only one in Sauternes that is ranked as Premier Cru Supereur, the highest rating. The beauty of Yquem lies not only in its terroir, which has an exceptional microclimate, but also in the uncompromising rigor of the people who run the chateau, and their tireless efforts to create only ``Yquem that is truly worthy of Yquem.''

At the château, 150 pickers usually take 6 to 8 weeks to harvest the grapes at least four times, to ensure only fully ripe grapes are harvested. Even if the wine is made from carefully selected grapes, if it is determined that it is not suitable for release as Yquem at the barrel aging stage, we will cut it down mercilessly, even if it means reducing production.

Yquem is undoubtedly the pinnacle of noble rot wine. This wine has also surprised connoisseurs with its longevity. According to Robert Parker, this wine can last for 10 to 100 years, and its aging potential is immeasurable. The dry Yquem ``Y'' is also coveted by connoisseurs.
