The Fine Wine / Rare Spirit

Double Magnum (3L) of 2005 Château d’Yquem signed by CEO, Pierre Lurton.

The Experience

VIP tour, tasting and fine wine dinner featuring four amazing library wines prepared by Chef Olivier Brulard and hosted by a member of the Yquem team for 4 guests.

The Estate / Distillery

Created in the 18th century, Yquem produces miraculous wines from serendipitous fusion of unique terroir, the expertise of unstinting efforts of men and women in the vineyard and cellar, and the microscopic fungus botrytis cinerea, better known as noble rot.

Autumn’s morning mists are followed by sunny afternoons and a slight easterly wind, which encourages the development of noble rot on the Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, concentrating sugar and richness. In order to pick each grape at just the right time, harvesting is done on every vineyard plot - indeed,every individual vine - over an average of five times in keeping with a method used since the 19th century.

The Château d'Yquem philosophy has been the same for over five centuries: to do everything possible to produce the best wine, with yields of just one glass per vine. The result: the most renowned wine in Sauternes, and one of the greatest sweet wines in the world.
