Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes 2008 375ml

This wine offers an open nose with some notes of orange, crystallized lemon, and grapefruit with highly-rated slightly acid refreshing one. The aromas of White flowers and almond paste complete this range of freshness. The mouth reflects the liveliness of the vintage and reproduces the aromatic range of the nose by adding to it pineapple and a vanilla touch thanks to its breeding in the barrel. The liqueur is present by the density but remains discreet. The finale leaves especially a very fruity, fresh and slightly acid imprint. This wine presents a pleasant and attractive appearance, which will allow one to appreciate it in its youth. According to the previous vintage, 2008, will not have to blush and should propose a vintage greedy and full of charms.
Blend: 95% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc

Critical Acclaim

94 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Tasted single blind against its peers. The Chateau de Suduiraut 2008 has a beautiful, dare I say effortless bouquet that blossoms from the glass with scents of lemon curd, white peach, citrus lemon and limestone. It is very precise, armed with a laser-like focus. The palate is viscous and compelling on the entry and it fans out beautifully across the palate with pure botrytized, honeyed fruit. The acidity slices through this Sauternes like a razorblade and the finish is natural and vibrant. This is a sublime sweet wine that deserves a home in every cellar. Tasted January 2012.

93 Wine Enthusiast

Rich, generous, and opulent, this shows big swathes of intense fruit and orange marmalade. The dried fruits shine here in this powerful, sweet wine.

92 Wine Spectator

Packs power and purity into an unctuous yet sleek frame, with mouthwatering acacia honey, creamed melon, honeysuckle, white peach and green almond notes that drive through the lengthy finish. A serious Sauternes. Drink now through 2024.
