Ratings: Robert Parker 93/100, Bettane & Desseauve 18.5/20, Gault Millau 18/20, RVF 16/20, Guide Hachette 1* (Very successful wine)
“Along with Coutet, this wine dominated the tasting of Sauternes classified growths, just after bottling. The wine is truly sumptuous in flavor and texture, with acidity that perfectly balances the sweetness. The character of the vintage is particularly evident. A must-have.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2010) Delivery in a wooden case at no extra charge for orders of 6 bottles shipped within France

Rated (2020 Guide) 5*Stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)
About the estate:
The estate now produces the exceptional wines that its terroir allows, with consistent quality and a complex yet carefully curated range of first and second wines, as well as two remarkable dry wines. It’s hard to choose between the sweet second wines—Lion, which is a bit more modern and exuberant, and the more classic Castelnau—because both are made without compromise, with a lovely roasted character from the grapes. Among the dry wines, S has a bit more density than the standard dry. Only Yquem manages to do just a tiny bit better, especially when it comes to aging.

Rated estate (2020 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, belong in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
This vast estate was acquired 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, and which, in great vintages, borders on genius. The latest vintages have reached a very high standard.
