Y de Yquem 2004 from Château d`Yquem is a dry white from the most famous estate in Sauternes. Produced from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, the wine is crafted with a small portion of botrytised fruit to achieve textural volume and complexity. The 2004 vintage captures a refined profile of lemon curd, white peach, toasted hazelnuts and a distinct saline minerality. Following maturation in French oak barrels, the palate is broad and expansive, yet remains balanced by a vibrant acidic spine. It possesses a persistent and savoury finish that highlights the unique geological complexity of the site.
