2016 Chateau d'Yquem 'Y' Ygrec, Bordeaux, France

The 2016 Y de Yquem is a striking example of how Château d’Yquem, known for its legendary Sauternes, masters dry white wine production with the same precision and care. As a rare dry white from this revered Bordeaux estate, the 2016 vintage continues a tradition dating back to 1959, combining the estate's signature finesse with a refreshing, modern approach.

Historical Prestige:
Château d’Yquem, located in the heart of Sauternes, has been synonymous with excellence since the 17th century. Known globally for crafting some of the finest sweet wines, its Y de Yquem production offers a unique perspective on the estate’s terroir. This dry white wine exemplifies how the château's expertise extends beyond Sauternes, reflecting the estate’s unparalleled attention to detail.

Varietal Composition:
The 2016 Y de Yquem is a carefully crafted blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Sauvignon Blanc, picked early, imparts vibrant acidity and bright citrus notes. Meanwhile, Sémillon, harvested at optimal ripeness, contributes texture and complexity, bringing richness to the blend. This duality results in a wine that balances crisp freshness with opulent depth.

Production Attributes:
Each grape cluster used in the 2016 Y de Yquem is meticulously hand-harvested, ensuring only the best fruit is selected. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel and oak barrels, preserving the purity of the fruit while adding subtle layers of complexity. The wine is aged on fine lees, enhancing its silky texture and aromatic intensity.

Why the 2016 Y de Yquem Stands Out:
This vintage captures the essence of d’Yquem’s storied terroir in a refreshing, dry format. Its rare production and exceptional craftsmanship make it a standout choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a wine that bridges tradition and innovation.

For those craving elegance and precision, the 2016 Y de Yquem is a sophisticated expression of Bordeaux’s dry white wine artistry.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating 92+). 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. Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Issue date: March 2019. Drinking window: 2020 - 2032.

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. Reviewed by: Neal Martin, Issue date: February 2022. Drinking window: 2022 - 2038.
