BORDEAUX BLANC
“The glass shines of all reflections of this silver-glitter crystalline pale gold bordeaux. The exotic fruits (mango) and citrus (tangerine) aromas appear with delicacy, soon joined by floral and mineral nuances, then by soft vanilla reminders. With a simultaneously tender and fresh attack, admittedly a silky and smooth texture manifests on the palate, but still with a perfect balance. A subtle bitterness brings length on the finish, supporting ginger and white pepper notes.” Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020

History and anecdotes
Château d’Yquem is located on the left bank of the Garonne. The only soil that has been classified as Premier Cru Supérieur of Sauternes and Barsac in 1855, the first vines were planted in the 16th century. The estate was the Lur-Saluces family’s property for more than four centuries. Since 1999, Bernard Arnault has become the first shareholder. Y d’Yquem is a rare dry white wine with a high finesse.
