A Premier Cru Classé Sauternes, Château Suduiraut is celebrated for its richness, precision, and exceptional longevity. It reveals luxurious aromas of apricot, peach, pineapple, candied orange peel, honey, saffron, vanilla, toasted almond, and acacia blossom. Lusciously concentrated yet beautifully fresh, it delivers vibrant acidity, remarkable complexity, and an extraordinarily long, elegant finish.
Food Pairing: Pair with foie gras, Roquefort, blue cheese, crème brûlée, fruit tarts, roasted peaches, apricot desserts, or enjoy on its own.
99 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
Honeyed orange, caramelized citrus, flowers, spice, and buttery nuances all emerge from the 2022 Château Suduiraut, a decadent Suduiraut that has a vibrant sense of freshness, perfect balance, and a gorgeous finish. It's brilliant.
99 Points - James Suckling
So many aromas of dried apricots, turmeric, pine nuts and botrytis. Full-bodied with 190 grams of sugar and incredible length and richness. The salted caramel, light nuts and dried fruit go on for minutes. 100% Semillon. A great sweet wine.
95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Suduiraut reveals a deep, complex bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, caramel, spices and mango. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and mouth-coating, it’s long and fleshy with great depth at the core and a long, mineral, orchard fruits-inflected finish. Entirely crafted from Sémillon and matured for 18 months in barrels (70% were new barrels), this is a classic in the making and a superb Sauternes.
95 Points - Vinous
The 2022 Suduiraut comes from a quick and late harvest in October (three tries between 17 and 27 October with some passerillé grapes in September). Bunches were affected by botrytis but did not concentrate, at least not until a period of wind and warmth. Wild honey, quince and touches of marmalade on the nose, this opens nicely in the glass. The palate is pure and viscous in texture, with marmalade, again, and dried honey. Very open and approachable on the finish. Not profound, but quite delicious. Christian Seely said he drank this for breakfast the previous day - why not? – Neal Martin.
95 Points - Wine Spectator
A plump, broad style, with marzipan, toasted almond and bitter orange notes leading the way for mango, creamed peach and papaya flavors. Rich and honeyed, but with an alluring, shimmering energy through its long finish.
93 Points - Decanter
Orange, grapefruit, lemon rind, flint. Broad and wide on the palate with a lovely weight. It’s serious, not super tangy, more filling and wide, with a bitter orange tang and peach, pear and apple fruit. Rich and gourmet but clean and clear, with hints of bright acidity and juiciness that accent the quite thick texture. Calm and controlled. Textured, sleek, and clean, well defined, punchy and sharp. Great potential. 3.1 total acidity. Ageing nine months, 30% new French oak barrels, 70% one wine.
