Y “Ygrec” 2016 reveals Château d’Yquem’s distinctive approach to dry white Bordeaux. Blending 75% Sauvignon Blanc with 25% Sémillon, it combines fragrant citrus and pineapple with subtle almond and fresh herb notes. A generous, creamy texture is balanced by vivid lemon freshness, leading to a long, elegant finish with a delicate suggestion of sweetness. Carefully timed picking brings together fully ripe Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon harvested just as noble rot begins to appear, lending depth without sacrificing vibrancy. Offered in a 750ml bottle, this expressive dry white captures the estate’s precision in a style with a character all its own.

Critic Reviews
Wine Advocate
92+ Points
92+ Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Ygrec is blended of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon and contains seven grams per liter of residual sugar. It has a very delicate nose of lemon peel, fresh green apples and grapefruit with touches of crushed stones, white pepper, dill seed and lime leaves. Medium-bodied, elegant and very refreshing, with great mineral intensity, it has a lingering citrusy finish." 03/19

93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2016 Y de Yquem is pale silvery in hue. The nose is crisp and precise with Chinese white tea, hints of chamomile and lemongrass. Taut and fresh on the palate, I appreciate the salinity of this dry white with lime and grapefruit towards its tensile finish. Excellent. (Drink between 2022-2038)" 04/22

97 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A unique dry white Bordeaux with a cool, fragrant and vibrant personality. Lots of candied citrus and pineapple with hints of almonds and finely chopped fresh herbs. Although quite voluptuous and creamy on the palate, you’d never guess that it had 14.5 per cent alcohol, because of the wonderful, pineapple and lemon freshness. Just a whisker of sweetness at the long, elegant finish. A blend of 75 per cent sauvignon blanc and 25 per cent semillon. Drink or hold." 01/19
