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: 97/100 “Pale colour. An intense, refined, fruity and subtle nose with hints of citrus. A wonderfully light palate combining deep flavours (mint and citrus) that develop into a noble texture, leading to an unforgettable finish. It’s superb!”
Vinous (A. Galloni): 94-96/100 “Like all the whites this year at Suduiraut, the 2025 Grand Vin Blanc Sec Vieilles Vignes has more Sémillon in the blend. It offers a striking mix of Sémillon richness and vibrant energy that is impossible to miss. I especially admire the wine's tension. Pear, dried lemon peel, chalk, mint and dried flowers build into the intense, saline-drenched finish. What a wine.”
Bettane+Desseauve : 94-95/100 « The palate is well balanced, with admirable purity, fine depth and attractive texture, with a touch of ginger towards the finish. This has obrightness and seriousness fo it that is very attractive »
