From the first taste, Y de Chateau d’Yquem 2021 feels like a beam of citrus and orchard fruit overlaid on a subtly creamy frame: think lime zest, pear and kiwi layered with gentle honeyed depth and a cool, stony edge. The blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon brings both tension and gloss, with bright acidity, a faint twist of bitterness and a delicate touch of sweetness on the finish that makes the wine feel almost electric yet still luxurious.

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.
