Reviewed June 2022Terrific potential and pure botrytis character to the aromas and flavors of dried mushrooms, clove-like spices and dried fruit, such as apricot and pineapple. It’s full-bodied, very long and intense with a great finish. Lively and compact with a dense but agile center-palate.

While I wasn't able to taste many Sauternes in 2021, everything I was able to taste was impressive. The 2021 Château Suduiraut is great example, offering a thrilling perfume of orange blossom, honeyed citrus, sweet mint, and even a kiss of chalky minerality to go with a medium to full-bodied, pure, seamless, straight-up gorgeous profile on the palate. It brings plenty of sweetness, yet the freshness, purity, and balance are as good as it gets. (JD)

The Wine Independent
Made from 100% Semillon, the 2021 Suduiraut is to be aged for 16-20 months in oak, 50% new. Pale lemon-gold colored, it offers up the most beautiful scents of peach blossoms, mandarin peel, yuzu, and spice cake, followed by suggestions of beeswax, baking bread, and coriander seed, plus a hint of candied ginger. The palate shimmers with vibrant citrus and spice flavors, supported by a laser-precise backbone and satiny texture, finishing with fantastic energy. Wow! Very little second wine was made this year.

The 2021 Suduiraut is breathtaking. It is also a miracle wine. Conditions nearly wiped out the entire crop. Yields were just one hectoliter per hectare. No, that is not a typo. One hectoliter per hectare harvested on one of the three picks that year. Orange confit, dried flowers, jasmine, passionfruit, ginger and light tropical accents lend tremendous character. Racy and creamy to the core, Suduiraut retains a gorgeous sense of floral lift and freshness. It's a fabulous Sauternes. (AG)
