Château d’Yquem is often considered as the greatest sweet wine producer in the world, however, they also make a fine dry white known as Ygrec de Yquem. It is a highly complex and distinctive wine made from a blend of mostly Sauvignon Blanc with a little Semillon.

The 2017 Y de Yquem was picked very early from 16 August to 25 August. It was released the week prior to my visit. Side by side, the bouquet is almost identical to the 2018 with green apple and hints of yellow flower, the Sauvignon Blanc very expressive (75% of the blend). The palate is sweet and a little more viscous thanks to the additional gram of residual sugar compared to the previous vintage with hints of nectarine and apricot laced with lemongrass towards the persistent finish. Excellent. Neal Martin1st November 2019

Harvest started on 16 August. Around 75% Sauvignon, 25% Sémillon (with a small proportion of botrytis). RS 7 g/l.
Strongly aromatic, really singing with herbs, peach and apricot – it's more like Rhône than Loire. It's powerful but balanced, with the acid working well too. Rich and indulgent, with length and breadth and every dimension. (RH)Richard Hemming13th April 2022
