Château d’Yquem is renowned as the premier Sauternes producer globally, yet they also produce an exquisite dry white labelled Ygrec de Yquem. The 1985 vintage of this intriguing wine, crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, presents a palate that is refreshingly dry with a subtle off-dry nuance. It is a layered and complex tasting experience, showcasing a rich fruit bowl on the nose where notes of stone fruits, lemon curd, and melon contribute to its profile.
The 1985 Y de Yquem has a very arresting nose. Green olives, brin and a slight Padron pepper aroma, slightly oxidative yet utterly compelling. You will either love it or hate it. The palate is well-defined with a strong flor-like aroma, unapologetically nutty, almost smoky on the finish. Very distinctive. Tasted at the château.

Chateau d`Yquem

Chateau d`Yquem

Considered by many to be the peak of fine sweet wine, Château d'Yquem manage around over 100 hectares of vineyards in Sauternes planted with a mixture of 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are only picked when the so-called 'noble rot' has fully taken hold and yields are, as a result, meagre - it's said that each vine at d'Yquem produces a single glass of wine.

Fermentation takes place in 100% new oak and the wine is left to mature for up to three years before release. Characterised by an exotic richness in youth, the wine has the ability to age for untold decades. A second wine 'Y de Yquem' is produced in select vintages, a dry counterpart to the Grand Vin.
