Chateau d’Yquem ‘Y’ D’Yquem Bordeaux Blanc Sec 2020

13% abv

Vol- 75cl

The land of Château d’Yquem is composed of 113 hectares where only a hundred hectares is exploited. The rest is left fallow after the uprooting of old vines and replanted with new vines to ensure the quality and excellence of the wine. The vineyard is planted with 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Since 1959, the Château d’Yquem also produces a dry white wine “Y” (pronounced “Ygrec”), which is also subject to the same criteria of requirement. Only 33 vintages have left the Château in almost 60 years. Confidential production of about 10,000 bottles, this Bordeaux Blanc Sec is still one of the most wonderful in the region.

Chateau d`Yquem is often described as the greatest sweet wine in the world. After centuries of family ownership, Yquem was finally sold in acrimonious circumstances to Louis Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy in 1999. However, its former owner and director Alexandre de Lur-Saluce remains in charge.

Yquem is located on the highest hill in Sauternes and enjoys the best growing conditions in the whole appellation. The 110-hectare vineyard is planted with 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Only fully botrytized fruit is picked by highly skilled pickers and yields are so low that each vine produces only one glass of wine!
