Description

Utter liquid decadence! Honestly, it feels “naughty” trying this magnificent wine. Heady aromas of white peach, passion fruit, pineapple and mango all interwoven with clotted cream. Somebody bring me a spoon! Massive concentration with a tangible weight to it none of the other Sauternes we tried had apart from D’Yquem (our top wine of the vintage) but it will be approximately a 10th of the price. I think in the last 50 years 2013 will be regarded just below 1967 and 2001 but above 2007/2005/2003 etc I made a huge mistake in 2001 by not buying enough. I wont make the same mistake twice. Halves for the next 5 years, bottles for 5 to 10 years and Mags for the next generation. Nectar of the Gods!

Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 93-95/100
The 2013 Suduiraut has one of the more flamboyant bouquets of the vintage, one that is actually reminiscent of de Fargues. There are copious Satsuma and dried honey scents, hints of beeswax and almond that keep your snout in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced with a viscous entry, just a touch of marmalade and quince coming through, and then blossoming toward the weighty finish that shows just a touch more oak at the moment. This is an excellent Suduiraut.Neil Martin - 30/04/2014

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.
