Chateau d’Yquem 'Y - Ygrec' Bordeaux Blanc 2021 1.5L

Y is only made in select vintages. The first vintage of this dry white wine was made in 1959. The berries for Y are picked prior to the harvesting of vines for the Sauternes. Y is typically a mixture of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon. The Semillon is picked just prior to developing noble rot for this wine. Y is a rare find, as less than 1,000 cases are produced of this wine a year. Y has a dry steeliness from Sauvignon Blanc coupled with the richly honeyed qualities of Semillon.
