History and anecdotes

The Château d’Yquem is located on the left bank of the Garonne. A unique terroir that was classified as Premier Cru Supérieur of Sauternes and Barsac in 1855, the first vines were planted in the 16th century. The property remained within the Lur-Saluces family for more than 4 centuries. Since 1999, Bernard Arnault has been the main shareholder.
