Y de Yquem 2021

Description

Made from the same vines as Château d’Yquem, and benefitting from its outstanding terroir, Y (pronounced “ee-grek” in French) is the estate’s delicious dry white wine. With annual production averaging 10,000 bottles a year, this is both a rare and highly sought-after wine.

Like the estate’s flagship, Y comprises both Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Its aromas and flavours are rich, and full of both peach and citrus – as to be expected from a Bordeaux Blanc Sec. Alongside this, Y follows in the footsteps of its famous older sibling, exhibiting the subtle sweetness that we so often would associate with this Sauternes estate.
