2017 Berry Bros. & Rudd Sauternes by Château Suduiraut, Bordeaux

Description

Pure nectar, this heavenly French dessert wine can be savoured on its own, or paired with fruit tarts such as apricot or duck liver parfait. With luscious flavours of apricots, honey, orange blossom and exotic candied fruits, harmonious citrusy acidity keeps everything in check. Serve chilled in your prettiest crystal, and this golden elixir will bring smiles all round.

Sam Wylie-Harris, IrishNews.com (December 2023)

Our Sauternes has been made by Château Suduiraut. This is an early-drinking style of Sauternes, with bright aromas of orange blossom and candied apricot. The palate is ripe and glossy, with flavours of quince and white peach along with sweet undertones of allspice, stem ginger and honey. The blend is led by Sémillon, bringing a balancing bite of citrus to the finish. You can enjoy it year-round, and it’s delicious with most hard or blue cheeses.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16.5/20
Really rich and sweet, with total conviction and expression of a ripe year in Sauternes. There is a light, toasty note at the end. Smooth texture with everything in the right place. It's refreshing enough to drink with savoury dishes.Drink 2022 - 2028jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (March 2023)

Made for Berry Bros by Château Climens, this Sauternes edges the smokiness up a notch, with an exciting mix of sweet honey and more exotic pineapple and guava aromas. On the palate, richer manuka honey comes to the fore, with a lick of marmalade on the finish.Drink 2021 - 2031peter_ranscombe, Decanter.com (September 2021)
