Eine kleine Ernte mit nur 7 hl/ha. Etwa 35'000 Flaschen. Recht dunkles Gelb mit erstem Goldschimmer, brillant. Konzentriertes, mit Aromen bepacktes Bouquet, viel Honig, gelbe Blüten, ganz feine Harznoten im Innern zeigend, er hat eine schöne Botrytisexpression Im Gaumen fleischig, sattes Extrakt, ein Hauch von Bittermandel ist im fülligen Finale zu spüren, tolles Potential für Jahrzehnte. Kann noch zulegen. Zwei Mal verkostet. Einmal an der grossen Degustation auf Lafaurie-Peyraguey und noch einmal vor einem Diner auf Pichon-Baron. 2026 – 2070

Candied citrus and pineapple drizzled with acacia honey is how this smells and tastes, and the wine is rich and creamy with excellent concentration. Powerful and flavorful finish. Drink or hold.

The Château Troplong Mondot 2014 is a stylish wine this year. The nose is well defined and elegant with pure blackberry and red plum fruit, fine mineralité and poise here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, grainy tannin and well-integrated oak. There is a touch of dark chocolate coming through on the finish, but it is lightly sprinkled over the fresh black fruit that possess less fatness than recent vintage, but in my opinion allow the terroir to be expressed. This is a fine Troplong Mondot that should drink well over 15 to 20 years. (Incidentally, another sample was showing not quite as well, but I have used my note taken from the UGC poured by someone at the property). <br/>The Château Troplong Mondot 2014 is a stylish wine this year.

On the flamboyant side, with mango and guava flavors out front, followed by hints of creamed pear and fig. The lush finish is coated with almond cream and toasted coconut notes. Best from 2020 through 2035. 3,417 cases made.

Despite a challenging year, half of the crop was lost due to an invasion of Drosophila suzukii, the 2014 Suduiraut is showing very well today, evoking aromas of pineapple, baked white fruits, ripe orchard fruits, lemon and spices. Moderately weighted, layered and round, it’s perfectly balanced with an elegant, fresh mid-palate that is long and ethereal on the finish. This blend of 95% Sémillon and 5% Sauvignon Blanc, matured for 18 months in 50% in new oak and 50% in one-year-old barrels, was picked in four tries between September 12 and October 30 with a tiny yield of seven hectoliters per hectare.

Château Suduiraut
Château Suduiraut is a great Sauternes estate, following neighbors d’Yquem and Climens, standing alongside Rieussec and De Fargues. Situated in the commune of Preignac, the present château was built by the Suduiraut family in the 17th century. Since 1992, this Premier Grand Cru Classé property has been in the hands of AXA, owner of Château Pichon-Longueville in Pauillac and Château Petit-Village in Pomerol. This change in management has enabled a number of advancements in the estate’s viticulture and viniculture approaches. The 91-hectare vineyard covers the superb terroirs of the Left Bank, built on its sun soaked and well-drained lands, the dichotomy between opulence and minerality in their wines has become a Suduiraut signature. The passionate team carefully harvests the fruit, with a later picking period when the noble rot is in full effect. The wines are full and rich, barrique-aged for 18 to 24 months adds depth and concentration. The Grand Vin Suduiraut is of top-quality.
