Note di degustazione
"The Sauvignon Blanc for Y was harvested a lot later in 2000 than we harvest now," commented Yquem’s president, Pierre Lurton. "This was harvested in the middle of the Sauternes picking." The 2000 “Y” has 9 grams per liter of residual sugar and is pale to medium straw in color. It sails out of the glass with notes of dried apricots, poached pears, quince paste, and lemongrass, leading to touches of fresh hay and salted cashews. The full-bodied palate is satisfyingly rich, yet appears quite dry, delivering a decadently oily texture and fantastic length. Still possessing bags of fruit and freshness, this should hold for another decade, at least.

Winemaker Sandrine Garbay told me that for the 2000 Y de Yquem, the 50% Sémillon was picked with intentional over-ripeness and just a touch of botrytis. It has a fine, slightly nutty bouquet that is curiously quite Burgundian in style. Lovely balance on the palate, it offers dried honey, white tea and an Alsace-like personality. Just a touch of oxidation here, very focused with a tang of lemongrass on the finish. Very fine.
