The Château d'Yquem 'Y' Dry White Wine 2022 presents a captivating Bordeaux dry white wine profile, characterised by vibrant citrus and tropical fruit aromas intertwined with subtle floral and mineral notes. This vintage delivers a full-bodied palate with impressive depth and a lingering, racy finish, appealing to those seeking premium dry whites from renowned Sauternes producers.
On the nose, this Bordeaux dry white wine unfolds with layers of waxy lemon peel, green apple, and pineapple, accented by hints of orange rind, lemon grass, and delicate white flowers. Subtle undertones of crushed stone and elderflower add complexity, creating an inviting aromatic bouquet that hints at the wine's Sauternes heritage while embracing a distinctly dry style.
The palate reveals a generous texture, bursting with flavours of sliced apple, lychee, and kiwi, balanced by phenolic grip and a touch of spice. Notes of kumquat and white peach contribute to its density, offering a rounded mouthfeel that evolves seamlessly without overwhelming the senses.
Structurally sound, the wine maintains acidity that provides freshness, leading to a long finish marked by creamy chalkiness and echoes of orange blossom. Ideal for cellaring, it promises further development of toast and vanilla nuances over time.
