Château Y d'Yquem - Bordeaux 2017

In what was a very early-ripening year, Y broke all previous records, with picking starting on the 16th of August.
This extremely early start was essential to retain the precious and fragile acidity indispensable for Y's freshness.
The harvest went very quickly since even the Sémillon grapes were ripe. The end of the picking and sorting of bunches used to make Yquem's dry wine ended on the 25th of August.
An elegant, magnificently aromatic wine.

This is an exotic dry white with dried mango and pineapple and some slate throughout. Full-bodied with dense, rich fruit and saltiness, which, together with extremely energetic acidity, really drive the finish. Drink now or hold.

The 2017 Y de Yquem was picked very early from 16 August to 25 August. It was released the week prior to my visit. Side by side, the bouquet is almost identical to the 2018 with green apple and hints of yellow flower, the Sauvignon Blanc very expressive (75% of the blend). The palate is sweet and a little more viscous thanks to the additional gram of residual sugar compared to the previous vintage with hints of nectarine and apricot laced with lemongrass towards the persistent finish. Excellent.

White peach and lemon peel notes mingle out front in this slightly exotic and very seductive white. A flash of shortbread caresses the finish, allowing white ginger and yellow apple notes to glide in for added range and length. Everything ripples, with finely beaded acidity. Beautiful and distinctive. Drink now through 2028. –JM

Very green, Sauvignon nose and then awfully heavy and sweet-tasting. I don’t really get this wine. Seems out of balance. When would you drink it? Stick to the sweet stuff! Bit astringent too. Drink 2018-2020
