Sauternes

Pale lemon-gold in color, the 2023 Suduiraut swans out of the glass with flamboyant notes of candied orange peel, lemon meringue pie, lime cordial, and beeswax, followed by hints of preserved ginger, allspice, and white truffle. The palate is both rich and bursting with freshness, delivering waves of baking spice and citrus preserve flavors, leading to incredible length and layers on the finish of this stunning wine. This is 100% Semillon, with a pH of 3.80 and 150 g/l of residual sugar.

This really is charming, full of marmalade and orange zest, saffron and lime, bitter finish in the best way, gives focus and rises up through the palate. 4.1 TA. 3.83 pH. 130 g/l. 50% new oak. Four passes through the vineyard through to 3rd week of October, with 2nd and 3rd being the heart. Pierre Montegut technical director across both Suduiraut and Pichon Baron. 11.3hl/h yield. Lovely, softly spoken, not the intensity of 2022, but just thoroughly appealing. Eric Boissenot consultant, as at Pichon and at Noval in Portugal.

Inside Bordeaux

The 2022 Suduiraut, 100% Semillon with 190 g/l residual sugar, is pale to medium lemon-straw in color. The nose is not at all shy, bounding from the glass with exuberant notes of peach preserves, orange marmalade, lime blossoms, and candied ginger, giving way to suggestions of spice cake and honeycomb with a waft of toasted almonds. The big, rich, full-on decadent palate delivers profound stone and tropical fruit layers with compelling tension and texture, finishing very long and hedonically alluring.

This is gorgeous, jumps out of the glass with its grated ginger, white fleshy pear and luscious quince, 138g/l sugar, 50% new oak. A brilliant Sauternes, this is gorgeous, just a lovely wine, but only 1hl/h yield.

Expert

Acacia, pink grapefruit and flint sets the pace, and this is an extremely successful Suduiraut. I love the grated ginger and lime zest that runs right through the citrus and mango fruits. Well controlled with fresh acidities, this is great quality, measured in its flavour delivery, with everything tantalising drawn out. 50% new oak, 130g/l residual sugar. Harvest September 17 to October 30, just 7hl/h yield.

The 2018 Suduiraut is medium lemon-gold in color. It comes bounding out of the glass with ready-to-go scents of baked apples, apricot preserves, straw, and praline, with a hint of crème caramel. On the palate there is well-restrained richness, with just enough freshness and a decadently spicy finish. 

Fine toast on the nose, almond, grilled pineapple, peach, citrus, dry spices with discreet oak. The palate is bold, rounded texture, layers of unctuous fruit and a rounded opulent finish.

Sommelier

Pale gold, vivid and enticing, this is totally gorgeous, fleshy pineapple, mango, quince, white pear, truffle, creme caramel and lime zest, still young and full of grip, opulent without being heavy. 150 g/l residual, 50% new oak for ageing

Tawny gold at the 10 year point, beautifully concentrated butterscotch and silky lemon peel and citrus, powerfully poised and lifted, great quality. 50% new oak, 150g/l residual sugar.

Pale to medium straw-gold in color, the 2013 Suduiraut slides seductively out of the glass with opulent notions of Seville orange marmalade, apricot preserves, and allspice, followed by wafts of jasmine tea, chamomile, and almond croissant. The palate is decadently rich yet light on its feet, with intense exotic spice and stone fruit preserves flavors and a very long finish.

WSET 2

The nose is slightly sweet but also very fruity with dried mango, orange jam, strawberry jam and caramel. The palate is full-bodied, fruity with ripe fruit, intensely sweet and nicely balanced. The finish is long and acidic. It is of course very young, but still nice to drink now. It paired perfectly to Roquefort.

Amateur

Sylta aprikos, sylta nekatarin, er så pent konsentrert gul steinfrukt. 

Super konsentrert aprikos, nektarin, veldig flott balanse, høy alkohol.

Veldig lagdelt og dyp. Aprikos, nektarin, appelsin, appelsinskall, grillet sitronskall, krydder og urter. 

Smak av karamellisert gul frukt. Kanel og nyanserte krydder toner. En kremet munnfølelse og pen syre. Pen konsentrasjon, medium + lengde.

Smakt hos Chateau Suduiraut.

Orange gyllen. Tørket frukt, aprikos, fiken, knekk, mørk honning, lett florale toner. Medium syre, sødmefull frukt med enorm konsentrasjon og kompleksitet. Nydelige balanse og sitter lenge.
