The respect for traditions has been the basis of Château d'Yquem's wine making philosophy for over two centuries – and its "#sustainability" is the proof of their passion for ancient winemaking processes!

Living in harmony with nature is a necessity since the grape harvest at Yquem relies entirely on what is paradoxically one of the most important vineyard pests, Botrytis cinérea.
Château d'Yquem produces an especial variety of wine called Ygrec, a balanced mixture of Sémillon and Sauvignon.

Defranceschi always pays great attention to details. In this case we wanted to remind of the estate symbol, the letter Y, as you can see in the 4th photo.
