The 2019 Suduiraut is consistent with my note from barrel, delivering quince, wild honey, wild peach and pineapple on a nose that is beautifully defined and so disarmingly pure that you can barely extract your snout from the glass. The palate is perfectly balanced with superb viscosity, quite intense yet poised, and maybe even more tensile than when I tasted it last year. Outstanding.

The 2019 Suduiraut stands out as one of the most comprehensive and impeccably crafted wines from the Sauternes region in this solar vintage. Offering up a complex, spicy bouquet of curry leaf, cardamon, white pepper, ripe orchard fruits and menthol mingled with touches of vanilla pod and pineapple, followed by a medium to full-bodied, round and gourmand palate, it’s also concentrated and rich with a perfumed, fleshy core of fruit that segues into a long, mineral and ethereal finish. This blend of 94% Sémillon and 6% Sauvignon Blanc, harvested between September 17 and October 30, in three tries, was matured for 20 months in oak barrels and contains 130 grams per liter of residual sugar. It's worth noting that, in this vintage, the arrival of botrytis following 60 millimeters of late-harvest rainfall severely impacted the remaining crop, yielding a mere seven hectoliters per hectare. Despite these challenges, the estate has achieved a remarkable feat, demonstrating exceptional skill and resilience and underscoring the force of its terroir.

Dried pineapple, apricot, fig and acacia honey on the nose. Some stem ginger and lemon pie, too. Sweet and luscious with dried fruit that’s layered with toast and spice. Fantastic concentration and length. Drink or hold.

Clean, ripe, pure and long, showing seamless white peach, quince, ginger, almond cream and green fig flavors that glide through, ending with style, a touch of panache and a bitter almond note that echoes. A step ahead of the field in this vintage. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2035. —J.M.

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.
