Y d'Yquem – Bordeaux Blanc Sec – White – 2022 – 3000 ml:

 

Y d’Yquem: The Dry White Masterpiece from a Premier Cru Supérieur Estate

Known as the “other wine” of Château d’Yquem, Y d’Yquem is a rare and prestigious dry white Bordeaux. It is crafted from the estate’s exceptional Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, harvested at peak ripeness-but crucially, before the full onset of Noble Rot. This careful timing results in a wine that marries the powerful concentration of Yquem’s terroir with a stunning, vibrant freshness, making it a sought-after luxury item for connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes & Profile

This world-class dry white offers a complex nose of ripe pineapple, lime zest, and orange blossom, often underpinned by a subtle, intriguing hint of honey and spice from its Botrytis lineage. The palate is full-bodied and textural, yet remains incredibly focused, with a bright, energetic acidity that drives a long, mineral-driven finish. It’s a compelling, age-worthy wine that defies category.
