Energy and richness play off each other in 2022 Château d’Yquem “Y”, which layers juicy pear, crisp apple and exotic pineapple and lychee over a cool, stony core. The sauvignon brings tension and lift while the sémillon adds weight and a silky gloss, so the wine feels both racy and dense, finishing long with gentle spice and a chalky, mouthwatering snap. It’s a strikingly powerful dry Ygrec that still keeps its poise and floral elegance.

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.
