Description
Winemaker Pierre Montégut hails from Vouvray, so he particularly enjoys the freshness of his outstanding 2007 made from minuscule yields of 16 hl/ha spread across five pickings. It has one of the most exciting bouquets of the vintage with white flowers, orange blossom and a trace of fresh apricots. The palate is equally brilliant with rich, unctuously-textured peaches and cream and a beguiling complexity. This challenges its legendary 2001 for top place on the podium and is an absolute must-have for any Sauternes lover.

About this wine
Chateau Suduiraut
Château Suduiraut is located in the commune of Preignac and its vineyards border those of d`Yquem. The property has a long history stretching back to the 15th century. Only a solitary wing remains of the original château, as it was destroyed by the Duc d`Eperon in the 16th century. The present château was built in the 17th century by the Suduiraut family, who also commissioned a spectacular garden designed by Le Nôtre. Suduiraut was classified as a 1er Cru Classé in 1855.
