2025 Château Suduiraut, Sauternes

2025 Château Suduiraut, Sauternes

The 2025 vintage for Suduiraut is clearly an exceptional on. Coming in at 158g/l this is an intense and concentrated wine but on the palate it dances with lift, tension and refreshment. Notes of grilled pineapple, saffron, honeydew melon and orange peel unfurl, and there is a delicate, savoury spice that emerges – a wine with real layers of complexity that will age for years to come.

Tasting notes

The 2025 Suduiraut is pure Sémillon, picked mostly after October 10 (there was a first picking of more passerillé fruit that constituted around 10% of the blend). It is mainly from the second trie, with a last picking at the end of October. There were a total of 10 days of picking. This has a fragrant bouquet with wild honey, linseed, saffron and light orange pith scents that blossom in the glass, though I would not describe it as intense, but very pure. The palate is well balanced, with a viscous opening, very pure botrytised fruit and a killer line of acidity. There is no heaviness here, and despite the 158 g/L residual sugar, it feels light on its toes. Oh yes.

100% Sémillon. Aromatic and light on its feet but shows natural depth and concentration. Tangerine oil, mint, and white pepper. Residual sugar is 158 g/L.
