Y (Ygrecs) the Yquem White Bordeaux 2013-(WS 96)

Description

Yquem is widely acknowledged as the greatest sweet wine producer on the planet. However, what few people realize is that they also make tiny amounts of a dry white called “Y” in vintages when conditions
permit. A blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, the grapes come from the same vineyards used in d’Yquem’s famous sweet wine. Since its first vintage in 1959, it has only been produced 24 times. Not only is “Y” among the greatest dry white wines in France when it is young, it also has outstanding aging potential, gradually developing a multi-faceted elegance. 2007 is widely considered one of the best white wine
vintages in Bordeaux in recent memory, so expectations are that this will be among the greatest Ygrecs to date
