Tasting Notes

This has a gorgeous whiff of toast, with alluring shortbread, lemon curd and white peach flavors. The long, creamy finish lets echoes of clementine and honeysuckle drift through. Rounded and creamy overall, but plenty long. A beauty. Drink now through 2020.

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2016-2020 01 September 2016

The 2014 Ygrec is a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon with seven grams per liter of residual sugar. It has an attractive nose with scents of nettle, dandelion, gooseberry and grass clippings, the Semillon taking a back seat to the Sauvignon Blanc at the moment. The palate is very well balanced with the 20% new oak nicely integrated (the remainder is matured in two-year-old Yquem barrels). It is very refined with lovely passion fruit and kumquat notes towards the second half where finally the Semillon makes its presence felt, with touches of brioche and lemongrass developing in the glass. What a gorgeous Ygrec.

"A year with contrasting weather conditions, in which cool summer temperatures and warm autumn ones led to a rare balance between acidity and richness. 2014 Y is a brilliant blend showcasing fruitiness, power, and freshness. It is reminiscent of the 2007 and 2011 vintages." Producer Note
