No, not a 2016, but since it is the vintage currently for sale, then I will publish my review of the 2015 Ygrec here. The Sauvignon Blanc (75% of the blend) was picked quickly from 25-27 August this year, the Sémillon on 3 and 4 September. It has six grams per liter of residual sugar and the pH, a sizzling 3.20. It has an intriguing bouquet of melted wax, white flowers and hints of sea spray, that marine influence becoming quite strong with aeration. The palate is fresh on the entry with fresh ginger and lemongrass, lively in the mouth with shades of orange rind and sour lemon towards the persistent finish. I would afford this several years in bottle and I suspect you will end up with a very distinctive dry Bordeaux from the most famous Sauternes estate.

Ideal weather in 2015 meant that Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes ripened very early.

We picked Sauvignon Blanc quickly from the 25th to the 27th of August in order to retain its precious freshness.

Sémillon grapes reached ideal maturity the following week, with their skins just starting to be marbled by Botrytis cinerea. They were harvested on the 3rd and 4th of September.

2015 Y: the perfect reflection of an excellent all-around, well-focused vintage.
