Give this 5 or 10 minutes to open in the glass because it has a pretty serious structure, deftly weighted, full of white pear, quince and apricot pit, balanced by savoury rosemary, straw and fennel notes, successful and totally moreish. A vintage that had the freshness necessary for great white wines in Bordeaux, and Y pulls away from the pack with this wine.
A linear and long Ygrec with sliced lemon, lemon sherbet and hints of lemon grass. Citrusy and flavorful. Finishes long and vertical. Very pretty and delicious. Very typical. Drink or hold.
The 2019 Y offers up scents of fresh grapefruit, honeysuckle, and green apples, with suggestions of lime leaves and wet slate. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is crisp and vibrant with layers of citrus and mineral layers and a long chalky finish.
