Y D'Yquem 2020 (3.0L)

97 JA / 95 JS / 16+ JR

Give this 5 or 10 minutes to open in the glass because it has a pretty serious structure, deftly weighted, full of white pear, quince and apricot pit, balanced by savoury rosemary, straw and fennel notes, successful and totally moreish. A vintage that had the freshness necessary for great white wines in Bordeaux, and Y pulls away from the pack with this wine. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

A minerally and solid Ygrec with sliced pear, dried lemon and some green melon. Full and layered with a lemon-sherbet aftertaste. Soft and bright. Bitter lemon at the finish. Layered. Lively. Classy. 75% sauvignon blanc and 25% semillon. Drink or hold. - James Suckling

Pale lemon colour. Very zesty and bright on the nose – this is all grapefruit and lemon pith. The palate follows in fruit profile. The acidity is positively brisk, washing away any fat from the Sémillon. What remains is a wine of delicacy, refinement and drive. It is already a pleasure to drink. - Jancis Robinson

2020 blend: 75% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Sémillon
