Château Suduiraut 2016

La Revue du Vin de France

The Wine Independent

Andreas Larsson - Tasted

Fine toast on the nose, almond, grilled pineapple, peach, citrus, dry spices with discreet oak. The palate is bold, rounded texture, layers of unctuous fruit and a rounded opulent finish.

Wine Enthusiast

This is a dense wine, full of rich fruit, bitter orange and apricot. Its ripe fruit is balanced by the intense botrytis while it is also freshened by the wine's acidity. This is a great wine with a long-term future.

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Quite floral in nature, the wine balances freshness, honeyed peaches, pineapple, apricots and vanilla with luscious, honeyed, tropical fruits.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The pale lemon-gold colored 2016 Suduiraut features vibrant lime blossom, candied peel, white peaches, guava and exotic spice notes on the nose with nuances of marzipan and crème brûlée. Rich, layered and powerful in the mouth, it has a gorgeous creamy texture, lovely vibrancy and a long, spicy finish.

James Suckling

A very concentrated Sauternes with a cornucopia of dried papaya, pineapple and mango, plus candied orange and tropical flowers that bowl you over. Although it stays in the background, there’s great acidity in this wine that keeps it very straight and clean, in spite of the luscious extravagance. Bright, citrusy finish. Drink or hold.
