He praised the high quality of its wines, which were already then famous, before the estate passed hands of ownership several times until the 18th century, when the Lur-Saluces family purchased it. They ran the Château for more than 200 years, further enhancing the property’s reputation for some of the finest sweet wines in the world. Since 1999, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, a luxury goods conglomerate, has run the Château, which covers 125 hectares of some of the most exquisite terroir in Sauternes, growing a mix of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The soils are famous for their unique blue clay qualities (also known as “mystique clay”), which helps regulate moisture levels in the vineyard to pristinely develop botrytis’ noble rot – the fungus that contributes to the famous flavor profile of Château d'Yquem’s portfolio of luxury sweet wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2015 is a show-stopper and one of the estate's finest recent years. After a marathon harvest stretching nearly two months, the 2015 poured out ripe pineapple, green mango, orange blossom, and lemon tart, landing at a decadent 144 grams per liter of residual sugar that somehow still tastes fresh and lifted. Opulent yet nimble, and the half bottle means you can taste greatness without the full commitment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Bottle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53350180290857,"sku":"1014901","price":189.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/2706\/8457\/files\/ChateaudYquem2015_1014901_FB_Rack.jpg?v=1786118483","url":"https:\/\/firstbottlewines.com\/products\/chateau-d-yquem-premier-cru-superieur-sauternes-2015-half-bottle-375ml","provider":"First Bottle Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
