Châteaux de Bordeaux : Château Yquem “liquid gold“ and Château La Tour Blanche

Throughout the world, French wines are recognised for their exceptional quality, especially the wines of the Bordeaux and Burgundy regions. Château Yquem is customarily called “liquid gold”. The most famous white dessert wine worldwide, is elaborated using the celebrated noble rot, Botrytis cinerea, giving it almost immortal ageing qualities. The Château La Tour Blanche, the first Sauternes to be listed as a vintage wine in 1855, is also renowned for the use of a greyish mould. The owners of these great estates open their doors to us, and introduce us to the people whose hard-work, passion and patience, contribute to the conception of these outstanding wines. Œnologists, wine masters, vineyard managers, and marketing managers talk to us about the qualities that make their wine stand out amongst French and World wines. 0:00 Exploring the Prestigious Châteaux de Bordeaux: Unveiling the Liquid Gold of Château Yquem and the Sweet Elegance of Chât
