Tasting notes
A deep golden yellow colour, showing its great maturity, Château Suduiraut 2015 presents a subtle and very complex nose. First of all smoky and mineral aromas emerge combined with very ripe stone fruit. The nose reveal notes of honey, verbena and mild spices. The attack is smooth and echoes the aromas on the nose, in particular yellow peaches and spices. The palate is powerful while showing restraint and elegance. The very velvety and fresh finish lingers on notes of juicy orange and spices. This is an extremely generous and powerful vintage with great finesse.
Expert Ratings
Wine Advocate 97/100
“The 2015 Suduiraut was a little more backward than its fellow Sauternes after bottling, eventually opening to offer dried honey, yellow flowers, hints of quince and a subtle pressed flower scent. The palate is well balanced with a mellifluous opening, a powerful and assertive Suduiraut with layers of botrytized fruit and a captivating, spicy finish that lingers long in the mouth. Outstanding—this is one of the best Sauternes in 2015. Anticipated maturity: 2022 - 2055.” Neal Martin
More About The Winery
Taking its name in 1580 on the marriage of Nicole d'Allard to Léonard de Suduiraut, the estate's château was rebuilt in the late 17th century with formal gardens laid out by Louis XIV's own designer, and its vineyard today covers some 90 hectares within a 200-hectare property in the commune of Preignac. Classified a Premier Cru in the 1855 Classification and owned since 1992 by AXA Millésimes, Château Suduiraut sits immediately beside Château d'Yquem and draws its wines from a blend dominated by Sémillon.
