Tasting note

Pure nectar, this heavenly French dessert wine can be savoured on its own, or paired with fruit tarts such as apricot or duck liver parfait. With luscious flavours of apricots, honey, orange blossom and exotic candied fruits, harmonious citrusy acidity keeps everything in check. Serve chilled in your prettiest crystal, and this golden elixir will bring smiles all round.

Sam Wylie-Harris, IrishNews.com

Château Suduiraut made our Sauternes. This is an early-drinking style of Sauternes, with bright orange blossom and candied apricot aromas. The palate is ripe and glossy, with quince and white peach flavours and sweet undertones of allspice, stem ginger, and honey. The blend is led by Sémillon, which brings a balancing bite of citrus to the finish. You can enjoy it year-round, and it’s delicious with most hard or blue cheeses.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16.5/20

Really rich and sweet, with total conviction and expression of a ripe year in Sauternes. There is a light, toasty note at the end. Smooth texture with everything in the right place. It's refreshing enough to drink with savoury dishes.

Drink 2022 - 2028
