"Along with Château Rieussec, Suduiraut 2010 is a contender for the best Sauternes of the vintage. It has a superb bouquet with an immediate sense of completeness and harmony, with layers of botrytized fruit, apricot blossom, peach skin, and marmalade. It is powerful but not flashy. No need. The palate is balanced with a viscous attack. There is plenty of botrytis here, good acidity, and enormous weight on the finish." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker) • Delivery in wooden cases for all orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method) •

Wine rated 17.5/20 (Reference wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide) 5 stars (Exceptional producers, representing the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and worldwide)

About wine:

Rich, roasted, creamy, impressive, still a little heavy, leaning more towards Barsac than Sauternes. Great potential.

About the estate:

The estate now produces the very fine wines that its terroir allows, with perfect consistency and a complex but perfectly thought-out range of grand and second wines and two remarkable dry wines. It is difficult to choose between the sweet second wines, Lion, which is slightly more modern and exuberant, and Castelnau, which is more classic, as both are made without compromise, with a lovely roasted grape flavor. Among the dry wines, S has a little more density than the simple dry wine. Only Yquem does slightly better, especially in terms of aging.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rating (2014 guide) 2 stars (Outstanding wine)

About wine:

During the reign of Henry IV, Suduiraut was a medieval castle and was known as the "cru du Roy" (the King's vineyard). Burned down during the Wars of Religion, it was rebuilt in 1670, resulting in the magnificent castle we know today, surrounded by gardens designed by Le Nôtre. Like its surroundings, this wine is fresh, rich, and powerful, offering order, robustness, and balance without any austerity. Very elegant throughout the tasting, perfectly balanced, powerful, rich, round, invigorated by a healthy freshness that extends the finish, subtle in its aromatic development (white flowers and fruits, caramel, brown sugar, candied and roasted notes), it is already very pleasant while showing serious potential for long-term aging.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Wine rating (2012 guide) 19/20 (Exceptional)

About wine:

The liqueur is certainly rich, but elegantly balanced by the crispness of the fruit and the tartness of the citrus. The nose is intense and powerful, with lingering notes of tobacco, truffle, amber, and candied fruit.

Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the estate:

This vast estate was purchased in 1992 by AXA Millésimes. Thanks to its geographically well-distributed vineyards, Suduiraut combines the power of Haut-Sauternais wines with the prestigious fruitiness found in the wines of the Preignac and Barsac plateaus. The result is a complete nectar, very slow to age, which, in great years, borders on genius. The latest vintages have reached a very high level.
