Decanter

Rich aromatics of salted caramel, vanilla, orange and white chocolate on the nose –it smells incredible. Pure straight away, this is rich and luscious for sure but the energy, focus and freshness really carries the profile –the sugar is totally covered by a cool creamy lemon aspect with touches of vanilla and pineapple. You get the texture, depth and concentration of a warm vintage but the fruit and acidity of a cool one. Surprising. This is exceptional but understated –light, almost delicate in a way, yet nuanced with some bitterness, cedar and clove spice. 100% Semillon from 55-year-old vines. 158g/l residual sugar. 4.04pH. A yield of 13hl/ha. Technical director, Pierre Montégut said the vintage is: 'Like 2023 for sugar, the same as 2009 and 2010' and that the team will start with a high percentage of new oak and slowly decrease over time so on average around 50% new, 50% one wine.

The intense aromatic profile is created from honeyed apricots, pineapples, candied citrus, roasted nuts and saffron. On the palate, the interplay between sweet, spicy and bitter is perfectly framed by the wealth of ripe, very ripe, and overripe pineapples, apricots, vanilla, saffron, oranges, and mango that coat every part of your palate with flavor. The finish starts off with peppery spice before building to its crescendo of sweet, honeyed fruits. While this promises to be fabulous in its youth, the wine can age for decades. The wine was made from 100% Semillon. 13.5% ABV, 4.04 pH, 158 grams per liter of sugar. Drink from 2029-2065. 97-99 Pts

Jane Anson

Pale gold colour, as seductive as ever. Strikes immediately with a texture that is rich and powerful, opulent without being heavy. The 13hl/h yields are just a little higher than the last two years, a reminder of how tough Sauternes has had it in recent vinages. 50% new oak. 4.04pH, 158g/l residual sugar, mix of botryitis and 5% passerillage (often that is a sign for good vintage for reds because it suggests that there was sustained drought. The real botrytis came with the rain of September 20.

Yves Beck

A superb bouquet marked by acacia blossom and earthy, root-like nuances, with a touch of radish and celery, rounded out by white pepper and candied citrus peel. Dense, silky and even saline on the attack, the wine shines with its energy, its breadth, and its ability to highlight details within an exuberant frame. This is where it excels most—like a weightlifter running a 10,000 meters… carrying his weights, but barefoot! It is tactile, powerful, fresh, and exceptionally persistent. A truly great Suduiraut that will delight its audience with its authenticity and its ability to showcase its incisive strengths.

Jean-Marc Quarin

Yellow color. An intense, fruity, creamy nose. The palate is as airy as can be—complex and delicious—with a classy, refined feel and controlled power. Wonderful finish. A huge, airy and refined return on the persistence. Very good. 100% Sémillon. Alcohol level: 13.5% - pH: 4.04. Residual sugar: 158 g/L. Aging: 50% in new barrels and 50% in barrels that have held one wine, for 16 to 20 months. Yield: 13 hl/ha. Harvest between September 3 and October 10.

Vinum

Expressive, with blossom honey, dried apricot, candied pineapple, dried mango and saffron; on the palate, rich and characteristically opulent—almost like two mouthfuls of wine—yet it isn’t heavy, but very elegant; the finish is remarkably long, with sultanas on the aftertaste. A great Suduiraut.

The elegance of a Premier Cru Classé from Sauternes

The estate
Born of a marriage union in 1580, Château Suduiraut is a historic estate in the Bordeaux region. Classified as a Premier Cru Classé in 1855, it has belonged to the AXA Millésimes group since 1992 and is now under the direction of Christian Seely. Covering around 91 hectares under vine, this prestigious property stands out for its gardens designed by Le Nôtre and its commitment to excellence in viticulture, producing sweet wines renowned worldwide for their concentration and minerality.

The vineyard
Located in the heart of the Sauternes appellation, the terroir benefits from a unique microclimate fostered by the proximity of the Ciron and the Garonne, ideal for the development of botrytis cinerea. The vines, averaging 35 years of age, are planted at a high density of 7,000 vines per hectare on soils of gravel, sandy clay, and limestone. The estate is certified High Environmental Value (HVE 3), reflecting sustainable farming practices that respect biodiversity.

The vintage
The winter proved mild and dry, marked by rainfall 45% lower than the previous year. The growing cycle began with early bud break around March 25. Wetter spring conditions required increased vigilance against the threat of downy mildew. Flowering then took place under stable and favorable conditions around June 3. The summer period experienced intense heat, particularly at the end of June, combined with a 30% rainfall deficit, leading to early water stress and limiting berry size. Veraison occurred on July 26 for sauvignon and July 28 for sémillon. The return of rain and cooler weather between late July and early August was beneficial for berry development while preserving freshness.

The harvest took place from September 3 to October 10 in three successive passes. The end of August, hot and dry, strongly favored passerillage. The first pass, beginning on September 3, yielded limited quantities but great qualitative richness. Rainfall on September 6 and 7 then triggered a rapid and uniform development of botrytis cinerea. Thanks to more favorable weather, this first pass was completed between September 18 and October 1, accounting for 16% of the total volume. The second pass, carried out from September 30 to October 10, proved to be the most significant and highest in quality, representing 60% of the harvest. Finally, a last pass on October 9 and 10 made it possible to harvest grapes deeply affected by noble rot (24%). The overall yield reached 13 hl/ha.

Winemaking and aging
Juice extraction begins with gentle, prolonged pneumatic pressing lasting around three hours. It is followed by vertical pressing for about fifty minutes to collect the richest juices. After cold settling at 10°C, alcoholic fermentation begins under the action of indigenous yeasts. It takes place in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new, over a period of two to three weeks. The fermentation process is then halted by cooling. Aging continues for 16 to 20 months, divided equally between new barrels and one-wine barrels. Alcohol content: 13.5% vol.

Grape variety
This Château Suduiraut 2025 is made exclusively from sémillon.
