Tasting Notes
The bouquet is expressive and refined, offering citrus peel, white peach, fresh herbs, and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, the wine is layered and energetic, combining ripe orchard fruit with vibrant acidity and a faint saline edge. The texture is polished yet restrained, leading to a long, focused finish that emphasizes freshness and balance.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The warm 2018 season delivered ripe fruit, while precise timing preserved structure and tension.
Investment & Collectibility
Produced in limited quantities, Y Ygrec occupies a unique position among Bordeaux whites. Its association with Chateau d’Yquem, combined with consistent critical recognition, has elevated demand among collectors seeking distinctive and age-worthy white wines.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2018 Bordeaux vintage produced whites of richness balanced by freshness. In Y Ygrec, these conditions translated into a wine noted for its harmony, depth, and longevity.
