Y d'Yquem – Bordeaux Blanc Sec – White – 2023 – 3000 ml:

 

Y d’Yquem: The Exceptional Dry Expression from Château d’Yquem

The ‘Y’ (pronounced ‘Ygrec’) from Château d’Yquem stands as a testament to the estate’s versatility, offering a world-class dry white Bordeaux. Sourced from the same hallowed grounds as the legendary Sauternes, this wine features a strategic blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, harvested early to preserve its exhilarating acidity. It captures the unique intensity of the Yquem terroir in a sleek, mineral, and sophisticated dry style, a true collector’s piece.

Tasting Notes & Profile

A sophisticated dry white, the Y presents an aromatic symphony of citrus peel, white peach, and delicate spice notes. The palate is richly textured yet impeccably balanced, showcasing a focused, almost crystalline minerality and a refreshing, long-lasting finish. The subtle complexity hints at the noble origins of its fruit, distinguishing it from conventional Bordeaux Blanc.

Pairing & Service

• Serving Temperature: 10-12°C
