What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Château D'Yquem, - Half 2005 Wine (375ml) is recorded as a 2005 dessert wine made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
Typical grape profile: Sauvignon Blanc — Zesty citrus, gooseberry, cut grass; often unoaked and refreshing; Sémillon — Waxy, honeyed and lanolin-like young; capable of legendary sweet wines (Sauternes) with noble rot. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.

Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
Romain-Bertrand de Lur-Saluces, grandson of the legendary Françoise-Joséphine, didn’t just inherit Château d’Yquem - he dedicated himself to its legacy. By 1855, Yquem was named the sole Premier Cru Supérieur in the famous classification ordered by Napoleon III. Neal Martin certainly does not hold back on the effusive positivity and lengthy reasoning as to why the estate " consistently trumps contenders to the throne", ultimately concluding that " Yquem is unbeatable " within Sauternes, and is to sweet wine what Shakespeare is to literature, Houdini to magic or Pelé to football.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
