The 2019 Suduiraut has a powerful nose, quite oaky at the moment although there is plenty of fruit packed behind it. The palate is dense and intense, with layers of botrytized fruit, stem ginger and quince towards the persistent and refined finish. Broad-shouldered yet with class. Blind, I thought this might have been the Yquem? No, it's its neighbor. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. ... More details

Rated 97 - 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 Wine Independent

95-97 The flagship Sauternes, the 2019 Château Suduiraut is 94% Semillon and 6% Sauvignon Blanc brought up in 50% new French oak. A stunning bouquet of caramelized peach, orange marmalade, honey, lavender, and citrus pith gives way to a medium to full-bodied Sauternes with impressive sweetness, a rich, expansive mouthfeel, and a vibrant spine of freshness that keeps it lively and balanced.

A little closed on the nose, some florality with wild honey and orange. Good density here, this is certainly on the rich side with the alcohol just poking through. Good structure with a wonderful lift at the end. There is some brightness and acidity on the finish, this has excellent potential and beautiful touches of florality that I really like. Rich, seductive and unctuous.

Rated 96 by Wine Advocate
94-96 Composed of 94% Semillon and 6% Sauvignon Blanc harvested from the 17th of September to the 30th of October (three selective pickings in total), the 2019 Suduiraut is aging for 16-20 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. The alcohol came in at 14.1% with 130 grams per liter of residual sugar. Pale to medium lemon-gold colored, the nose is oh-so-tantalizing with intense notes of candied ginger, beeswax, fenugreek and crystalized citrus peel over a core of pineapple upside-down cake, honey coated almonds, pink grapefruit and peach preserves with a waft of musk perfume. The rich, concentrated palate explodes with spicy fireworks in the mouth, complementing the the exotic fruit and peach preserves layers, with a racy line to lend just enough lift, finishing with epic length and depth.

Rated 96 by Wine Enthusiast
94-96 Barrel Sample. While the wine is not ultrarich in texture, it is beautifully balanced between zesty citrus and plenty of serious botrytis and honey flavors. Showing a delicious orange marmalade character, it is ready for aging.

Rated 95 by James Suckling
Dried pineapple, apricot, fig and acacia honey on the nose. Some stem ginger and lemon pie, too. Sweet and luscious with dried fruit that’s layered with toast and spice. Fantastic concentration and length. Drink or hold.

Rated 93 by Wine Spectator
Clean, ripe, pure and long, showing seamless white peach, quince, ginger, almond cream and green fig flavors that glide through, ending with style, a touch of panache and a bitter almond note that echoes. A step ahead of the field in this vintage. Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2035. 3,222 cases made.

Region: Bordeaux

The wineries of Bordeaux in France are widely considered to be amongst the finest on earth, with many of the chateaux found on the Left Bank and in the Médoc region routinely demanding enormous prices and being snapped up by collectors looking to add the best examples of the world's white and red wines to their cellars. Bordeaux's secret to success comes from the fact that the terroir of the region is exceptionally rich in minerals, helped by the clay and gravel soils which typify the area and the Gironde river which runs through it. Normally humid in climate, the nearby Atlantic coast supplies cooling breezes, making Bordeaux a winemaker's dream and resulting in extremely high quality grape varietals. For hundreds of years, the wineries of Bordeaux have been mastering the art of wine blending, and today produce a wide range of wine styles using many of the sixteen grape varietals permitted to grow in the region by French law.
fields

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
