Y d'Yquem 2018

Dry white wine from the famous Premier Cru Classé Supérieur of Sauternes Château d'Yquem, Y is one of the greatest dry whites of Bordeaux. In the Bordeaux Blancs Secs appellation, this blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon is aged on lees with regular stirring and in barrels, 20% of which are new and 80% of a Yquem wine.

An early vintage again after the historic 2017, Y de Château d'Yquem 2018 benefited from superb weather conditions with unfortunately an episode of violent storm accompanied by hail which had a strong impact on yields. Indeed, only 5,000 bottles of Y de Château d’Yquem 2018 will be put on the market.

Fortunately, this had no consequence on the quality with a Y de Château d'Yquem 2018 of very high quality, intoxicating with its delicate notes of white flowers, greedy thanks to its expression of very ripe white peach... and what a length ! Undoubtedly in the very best dry whites of Bordeaux in 2018!

Thus Y de Château d'Yquem 2018 is qualitatively of the level of the early and very beautiful white vintages of 2013 and 2017 but the quantities will be limited!
