This offers creamed yellow apple, green melon and verbena notes surrounded by a brioche and salted butter frame. The long and flattering finish lets a second wave of coconut, candied lemon peel and heather glide through. Clearly on the opulent side of the ledger, but there's a remarkably deft edge here as well. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2025.

No, not a 2016, but since it is the vintage currently for sale, then I will publish my review of the 2015 Ygrec here. The Sauvignon Blanc (75% of the blend) was picked quickly from 25-27 August this year, the Sémillon on 3 and 4 September. It has six grams per liter of residual sugar and the pH, a sizzling 3.20. It has an intriguing bouquet of melted wax, white flowers and hints of sea spray, that marine influence becoming quite strong with aeration. The palate is fresh on the entry with fresh ginger and lemongrass, lively in the mouth with shades of orange rind and sour lemon towards the persistent finish. I would afford this several years in bottle and I suspect you will end up with a very distinctive dry Bordeaux from the most famous Sauternes estate.

Produttore
Château d'Yquem
Situato a 55 chilometri a sud della città di Bordeaux, l'affascinante Château d'Yquem risale a 400 anni fa e ha una vista mozzafiato sulla valle di Sauternes. Questa celebre tenuta è riconosciuta in tutto il mondo come uno dei più grandi produttori di vino dolce di Francia. Dopo oltre due secoli, la famiglia Lur Saluces ha venduto la proprietà a LVMH nel 1999. I vigneti soleggiati, che coprono oltre 100 ettari, godono della fresca nebbia mattutina e sono vendemmiati con estrema precisione, acino dopo acino. Imbottigliati senza filtrazione, i vini trascorrono oltre tre anni in botti di rovere nuove. Il vinificatore Pierre Lurton, ex direttore di Château Cheval Blanc, controlla la vinificazione della tenuta dal 2004. Senza confronti per la combinazione di grazia, potenza e bravura femminile, i vini d'Yquem difendono facilmente il loro status di Premier Cru Supérieur. Con una produzione impressionante, i vini rimangono al vertice e la loro suprema qualità culmina nel Grand Vin, Yquem.
