Tasting Notes

Expect a beautifully layered Sauternes with aromas and flavours of:

• Candied apricot and ripe peach
• Pineapple and mango
• Orange marmalade
• Acacia honey and beeswax
• Vanilla bean and crème brûlée
• Saffron and ginger spice
• Toasted almonds
• Limestone minerality

The palate is luxuriously rich yet remarkably vibrant. Concentrated tropical fruit and honeyed citrus are perfectly balanced by bright acidity, creating a wine that feels both opulent and incredibly fresh. The finish is long, pure and wonderfully complex.

This is classic Sauternes at its finest.

About the Wine

Château Suduiraut is one of the historic treasures of Sauternes, with origins dating back to the 16th century. Classified as a Premier Cru Classé in 1855, the estate has long been recognised for producing some of the world's most refined and ageworthy sweet wines.

Its vineyards sit on the famous gravel and sandy-clay soils of Sauternes, where morning mists from the Ciron River encourage the development of Botrytis cinerea (noble rot). This natural process concentrates the grapes, creating wines of extraordinary richness while preserving remarkable freshness.

The blend is predominantly Sémillon, supported by Sauvignon Blanc, producing a style that combines luxurious texture with vibrant acidity and remarkable aromatic complexity.

Food Pairings

Perfect with:

• Foie gras
• Roquefort and blue cheese
• Lobster with butter sauce
• Roast pork with apple
• Crème brûlée
• Lemon tart
• Peach tart
• Simply enjoyed on its own

Cellaring

Although already magnificent today, the 2017 Château Suduiraut will continue evolving gracefully for 40–50+ years.

The 375ml format matures a little faster than a standard bottle, making it ideal for enjoying beautifully developed Sauternes sooner while still offering decades of ageing potential.

Why We Love It

If Château d'Yquem sits alone at the summit of Sauternes, Château Suduiraut is one of the very few estates capable of approaching that level of greatness.

The 2017 vintage is a spectacular example. Rich, intensely flavoured and beautifully balanced, it captures everything that makes Sauternes one of the world's most magical wine regions. Every sip delivers wave after wave of honeyed fruit, citrus, spice and minerality without ever feeling heavy.

Awarded 98 points by Jeb Dunnuck, together with 97-point scores from James Suckling and Vinous and 96 points from Wine Enthusiast, this is one of the standout sweet wines of the vintage.

At $85 for a 375ml bottle, the 2017 Château Suduiraut offers exceptional value for a Premier Cru Classé Sauternes. It is a luxurious introduction to one of Bordeaux's greatest estates and a bottle that every lover of fine dessert wine should experience.

👉 World-class Sauternes in 375ml format rarely stays available for long. Secure this magnificent 2017 Château Suduiraut and experience one of Bordeaux's greatest dessert wines.
