this video was shot from the top of the hill of Chateau d'Yquem overlooking all of Sauternes..it was a beautiful, and windy day, (pardon the sound) , and the really cool thing that makes Chateau d'Yquem unique,( wow, thats a lot of "Q's"), is the soil, which is really rocky, small pebbles about the size of 2 large marbles, and the hill that the vineyards are situated..it is the only vineyard that i noticed atop a hill..all the rest of Sauternes that i saw were pretty much flat..this allows Yquem, and LVMH who now owns the vineyard, awesome drainage for this tempermental crop..
