Lush white fruit, ripe pear skin and a touch of citrus pith glide through Y de Château d’Yquem 2020, giving a sense of both generosity and poise. The Sauvignon Blanc-driven core brings gentle tension and stony clarity, while the Sémillon adds a waxy, honeyed richness that lingers in a long, savoury-tinged finish. This vintage feels polished and layered rather than sharp, trading biting acidity for texture, depth and a classy, mouthcoating length.
Poached turbot with beurre blanc; Roast chicken with morel cream sauce; Comté or aged Gruyère

Y (Ygrec) by Château d’Yquem is the estate’s rare dry white Bordeaux, crafted from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grown on the same famed Sauternes terroir as its legendary sweet wine. First produced in 1959 and made in very small quantities, it combines the opulence and subtle botrytis imprint of Yquem with a tense, citrus‑ and stone‑fruited, mineral profile, offering a uniquely Sauternes-accented expression of dry white Bordeaux.
