About the brand

Chateau d'Yqem dates back to the 1400s, with records indicating the estate once belonged to the King of England - the Duke of Aquitaine at that time. Situated in the Sauternes, Gironde region of France, the vineyard was classified under the Graves section of the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 - the only Sauternes estate to ever be named as such. With powerful endorsements from the likes of Louis XV, Thomas Jefferson, and even George Washington, Chateau d'Yquem is one of the most historically relevant vineyards of its kind in the world. Awarded exceptional praise and acclaim from wine experts such as Robert Parker, Wine Enthusiasts, Wine Advocate, and James Suckling, the brand is now partly owned by renowned luxury conglomerate LVMH Moet Hennessy. Offering a range of superior vintages spanning well over 100 years, Chateau d'Yquem maintains the peerless quality it is known for, spellbinding collectors and wine lovers alike with every sip.
