Sauternes

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.

by Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

Amber in colour, with tropical fruits of passion fruit and mango on the opening beats, clear depth of flavour and contrast provided by orange peel and aniseed bitterness, low acidity. Luscious, silky, powerful, enjoyable. Pierre Montégut technical director, 7hl/h yields, 70% new barrels 30% from barrels of one vintage.

Inside Bordeaux

Amateur

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.

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.

Yields were just 1 hectoliter/hectare in 2021 for Suduiraut because of the frost. It has a pale to medium straw-gold color and storms out of the glass with powerful notes of peach preserves, pineapple upside-down cake, and mango pudding, plus touches of honeycomb, allspice, and candied ginger. Full, rich, and impactful in the mouth, the palate delivers a firm backbone of racy acidity to counter the unctuous sweetness, finishing with epic length. A spectacular achievement!

Expert

The 2019 Suduiraut, 94% Semillon and 6% Sauvignon Blanc, is pale lemon-straw in color. It charges out with flamboyant notes of orange blossoms, apricot preserves, and poached pears, plus wafts of beeswax, cedar, and allspice. The palate is rich, full, and hedonic, with a solid, racy backbone and great length.

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. 

Gul fersken, karamelliserte modne gule plommer, kanel, hvit pepper, mint- aktig touch. 

Smak av karamelliserte plommer, overmodne gule epler. Noe eukalyptus toner. En fin balanse nå mellom konsentrasjon og struktur. Derimot mangler litt syre. Lang finish.

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

Pale straw-gold in color, the 2014 Suduiraut has a very pretty nose of lime blossom, lemon meringue pie, and fresh ginger followed by nuances of chalk dust, coriander seed, and manuka honey. The palate delivers compelling savory and evolved fruit nuances to complement the citrusy layers, finishing with a lively lift.

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.

Golden yellow. Apricots, botrytis, mandarine, candied orange peel, peach, vanilla, and minerals. Fresh acidity. Playful. Peach, marmelade, caramel and botrytis. Clean and very long.

One of the better producers in Sauternes? Just love the balance in these wines! If you have not tried sweet Bordeaux then please do. They are great! Some years back the Sauternes was often served with fois gras, but I really like them with blue cheese and several desserts.

Lukt av moden gul frukt, fløtekaramell, smørbukk, pene aprikos og appelsin- toner. Samt veldig fremtredende krydder preg.
