About this product
In a prime location bordering the uber-producer of Sauternes, Chateau d'Yquem, Chateau Suduiraut farms 90 hectares of vineyards planted to 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, and is known for sweet wines of profound depth, balance and complexity. Farming sees the fruit harvested in tranches for selecting fruit, before the wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks - the wines mature in 33% new oak barrels for up to 24 months. In best vintages, like 2010, the wines can readily rival d'Yquem for potency and detail, plus the inevitable drinkability.

Along with Chateau Rieussec, the Suduiraut 2010 is a candidate for best Sauternes of the vintage. It has a wonderful bouquet with an instantaneous sense of completeness and harmony, with layers of botrytized fruit intermingling with apricot blossom, peach skin and marmalade. This is powerful, but not in your face. There is no need to be. The palate is well-balanced with a viscous opening. There is plenty of botrytis here, good acidity and enormous weight on the finish. Perhaps it needs a little more tension, but otherwise this is a very impressive wine for the Sauternes vintage.
