97 points Jane Anson: "(80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Sémillon). 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. Drink: 2021-2030. Alcohol 14%. (8/31/21)"
96 points Wine Spectator: "Distinctive, with jasmine and elderflower notes leading off, followed by a racy set of white peach, white ginger and lemon shortbread notes. Feels pure and streamlined through the very long finish. A beautiful wine. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2028. 833 cases made. (2/17/21)"
94 points Jane Anson (Decanter): "An excellent Y with a round, ripe stone fruit flavour profile, extremely successful with silky-textured nectarine, apricot and mango fruits, given definition and lift by lime blossom and citrus peel. Around 6g/l residual sugar in this, to give a whisper of the main estate wine, although here with a majority of Sauvignon Blanc. Drinking Window: 2021-2031. (Oct 2020)"
94 points Peter Moser (Falstaff) (2/23/22).
Comprised of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, and only produced in certain years, d'Yquem "Y" is a dry white wine from Sauternes. Robert Parker (The World's Great Wine Estates) writes: "Yquem also produces a dry wine called 'Y.' It is a distinctive wine, with a bouquet not unlike that of Yquem, but oaky and dry to the taste and usually very full-bodied and noticeably alcoholic. It is a powerful wine and, to my palate, best served with a rich food such as foie gras."
