So keeny sculpted and yet with massive sweetness and layers. What is not to like? Deep and sweet and even – with great freshness. This property just does the biz every vintage!

Quel éclat et quelle race! Il se distingue par sa pureté et sa clarté d’expression. Noblement constitué, il révèle un équilibre superbe avec une liqueur parfaitement intégrée. Le sucre résiduel est un peu moins élevé que dans les années récentes (un peu moins de 140g). Finale dynamique, cristalline et traçante.

Brooding aromas and flavours of cedar, ginger and spring flowers. Very long, tactile and tannic finish. Will need a long time to develop fully. 2020-2035

Made from 94% Semillon and 6% Sauvignon Blanc, the wine serves up a nose of honey, apricot, vanilla bean, roasted nut, flowers, papaya and orange. The wine is luscious, sweet, fat and fresh, with a long, intense, mouth filling finish.

The 2015 Suduiraut comes with 123 grams per liter of residual sugar, more modest than some of its Sauternes peers and 4.56 grams per liter of acidity. It has a sense of completeness on the nose already: immense clarity with wild honey and quince aromas that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very pure botrytised fruit, very focused and one of the most intense Sauternes you will find this year. It feels long and sophisticated in the mouth yet never overpowers, never really has to put its foot right down on the accelerator. This is a wonderful Suduiraut, not quite up to the level of the ethereal 2009...although not too far off. Drink 2020-2060

Le plus riche, le plus ample, le plus complexe de tous ces premiers crus à la naissance, tous les échantillons (six dégustés, dont un au château) concordent. Il y aura aussi un remarquable second vin (Castelnau) et un bordeaux sec de classe, digne de se comparer aux meilleurs crus de Graves, le S.

The 2015 Suduiraut is delicate, polished and impeccably balanced from the very first taste. Scents of orange peel, candied lemon, white flowers and mint abound. Silky and nuanced, the Suduiraut captures the essence of the vintage in its restrained personality. A closing flourish of expressive floral notes rounds things out nicely.

95–97. Barrel Sample. Naturally rich, but with fine acidity and a lift of freshness, this is a ripe and perfumed wine. The honey and orange marmalade flavors are there along with lemon jelly and a sense of structure. It is a balanced, poised wine from a fine vintage.

A ripe, rounded style, with loads of apricot, mango and glazed peach flavors, followed by a warm tarte Tatin finish. Still a touch youthfully raw, but shows serious depth.

Mitteldunkles Gelb, somit recht intensiv, leuchtender Rand. Der erste Nasenkontakt zeigt eine volle Rosinenladung, Honig, Feigensirup. Irgendwie erinnert das sehr kompakte, extrem, konzentrierte Bouquet an eine gigantische Trockenbeerenauslese. Reicher Gaumen, fast ölig, er bewegt sich wie ein Likör sich im Mund, im Finale Cointreau, gekochte Mirabellen und viel helle Rosinen. Dieser geniale Suduiraut erinnert an die ganz grossen alten Jahrgänge wie 1929, 1937 und 1945!!! Pierre Montegut: «Dieser 2015er hat 135 Gramm Restzucker, 14 % Alkohol und eine perfekte, relativ hohe Säure. Das sind genau jene Werte, die ich für einen ganz grossen Suduiraut avisiere. Für mich ist er mindestens so gut wie der 2009er, wenn nicht noch besser». 20/20 2020 – 2065

A phenomenal white with dried fruits such as apricots and mangos. Masses of bortrytis spice. Full body yet agile and bright with incredible lightness and delicacy. So much cherry blossom too. Small white flowers. Medium sweet. Ginger. Great finish.
