SUDUIRAUT Vieilles Vignes
Dry white wine from Château Suduiraut

Alongside its famous Sauternes, Suduiraut has been producing a dry white wine for fine dining for 20 years, made from half Sémillon and half Sauvignon (average age of vines 45 years for both grape varieties), aged for 9 months in barrels (12% new). Renamed Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes from 2020 onwards, this cuvée achieves a near-perfect balance between refined fruit (fresh citrus), marked acidity and subtle bitterness on the finish.

J-M Quarin : 93/100 « Couleur pâle. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité et subtil. Bouche grasse à souhait, avec de l'éclat dans la saveur et un corps fondant. Ensemble délicieux et bien difficile à cracher. »

Vinous (A. Galloni): 93-95/100 "The 2024 Suduiraut Vieilles vignes Blanc Sec emerges from 45-year- old vines. Rich, textured and wonderfully deep, the Vieilles Vignes is seriously impressive. The 2024 is not quite as effusiveas some earlier vintages, but that is probably a good thing for the long term. Readers will find a potent, deep white loaded, with personality. Pear, marzipan, white flowers, mint and chamomile build into the deep, resonant finish. Floral notes and brisk acids resonate on the close."

Bettane & Desseauve : 92-93/100 « Joli blanc, vif, agréablement fruité, intense, sans excès de tension avec des notes salines. On aime son caractère équilibré qui traduit les prédispositions de ce millésime pour les blancs. »

Vinous (N. Martin): 91-93/100 "The 2024 Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes Blanc Sec has a fresh nose with green apple, white peach and subtle chamomile scents that deliver great vigor and delineation. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry with a keen line of acidity. Surprisingly strict and tensile, it has ample weight with a twist of lime and nettle on the finish. Very good potential."
