This has a complex nose of smoked almonds, beeswax, lemons, green apples, pears and charred vanilla pods. Sea salt, too. Medium-to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and a textured palate. Exciting saline and mineral character. Terrific new wine that is based on a lovely texture. Drink or hold.

I also loved the 2020 Château Suduiraut Pur Semillon, a 100% Semillon that will also shine on the dinner table. Apple blossom, crushed citrus, and chalky minerality give way to a medium-bodied, bright, refreshing, crisp, yet still concentrated white that has tons of character.

Lively, with a fun mix of nectarine, white peach and Meyer lemon, along with subtle almond and brioche accents that develop on the finish. Lovely. Sémillon. Drink now through 2025. 74 cases made.
Winery
Château Suduiraut PUR SÉMILLON Grand Vin Blanc Sec is made from our prestigious Premier Cru Classé terroir of Sauternes. This wine is produced from a small parcel planted with Semillon vines, on average 55 years old, specifically identified depending on the vintage to reveal the best of this typical grape variety of Sauternes. It offers aromas of fruit and white flowers, with great elegance and smoothness on the palate.

Varietal: Semillon

Semillon was, at one point not so long ago, widely believed to be one of the most grown grape varietals in the world. Whilst today the numbers of Semillon grapes has dropped considerably, it remains a widely planted grape with vineyards all over Europe and the New World dedicated to making the most of this special and flavorful varietal. The grapes are recognizable by their golden color, and the fact that they can take on a pinkish hue in particularly warm climates. The wines the Semillon grape produces are notably varied, and are often very crisp and dry, or sweet and soft, full of a wide range of flavors Commonly, dry Semillon wines are particularly citrus in flavor, with a delicate and summery bouquet. The vine is hardy and vigorous, and notable for being easy to grow and produce high yields from.

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.
