  • Goedhuis, April 2014, Score: 90-92

    With bright acacia honey aromas, this is a full and mouth coating wine. It has a very full sweet palate, rich, long and concentrated.

  • Neal Martin, April 2014, Score: 93-95

    The 2013 Suduiraut has one of the more flamboyant bouquets of the vintage, one that is actually reminiscent of de Fargues. There are copious Satsuma and dried honey scents, hints of beeswax and almond that keep your snout in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced with a viscous entry, just a touch of marmalade and quince coming through, and then blossoming toward the weighty finish that shows just a touch more oak at the moment. This is an excellent Suduiraut.

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2014, Score: 18+

    Botrytis on much higher acid grapes than usual, as opposed to on fat sweet grapes – this gives the wine more lift, precision and brightness. Delicious pineapple notes and while there is 145 gm/L of residual sugar it is exquisitely balanced.

  • Tim Atkin, May 2014, Score: 93

    This Semillon-dominated sweet wine is deliciously rich and fragrant with concentrated, palate-coating flavours of vanilla pod, honey, beeswax and crème brûlée and a backbone of fresh acidity derived mainly from the 8% of Sauvignon Blanc. 2017-25

Region

Sauternes

It is not an exaggeration to say that these are the greatest sweet wines in the world. They are the result of a serendipitous marriage of grape variety, location, annual weather conditions and human care and determination. The vineyards are located on the banks of the cool spring-fed Ciron river which, in autumn, flows into the warmer tidal Garonne and creates rolling evening mists which clothe the vines until the afternoon sun burns them off the following day. This cycle creates perfect conditions for the development of botrytis cinerea or noble rot, and the resulting grape juice is a super concentrated sweet, ambrosial nectar which makes the most heavenly and complex wines with extraordinary ability to age. In 1855 the wines were classified into first and second growths, with Ch d'Yquem rightly receivingits own super status of premier grand cru. Other stunning wines include Chx Sudiraut, Rieussec, Coutet and Climens. While seductively fragrant and sweet when young, if you can bear to wait, you will be amply rewarded with lusciously rich, exotically complex wine.
