There is so much going on here and so much to like about this wine; I do not know where to start. So, let's go with the beginning, and its nose is packed with honey-coated apricots, pineapples, tangerine, vanilla, and a...

The Wine Independent, June 2025

This cuvée is pure Semillon, and the residual sugar is 190 g/l in this vintage. A rich, smoky-gold hue in the glass, the nose is similarly smoky and harmonious, with a huge intensity of dried citrus and tropical fruits...

Vinous, January 2025

The 2022 Suduiraut is elegant, gracious and lifted, as the wines here typically are these days. Apricot, cinnamon, dried flowers, mint and orange peel all grace this wonderfully airy, understated Sauternes. Most...

Decanter, April 2023

Gorgeous richness and juiciness, a compelling density and complexity, well constructed and poised. Refined but powerful, I love the intensity, really combines fruit fleshiness and unctuous acidity. Orange rind, but cool...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2025

The 2022 Suduiraut reveals a deep, complex bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, caramel, spices and mango. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and mouth-coating, it’s long and fleshy with great depth at the core and a long...

Wine Spectator, February 2025

A plump, broad style, with marzipan, toasted almond and bitter orange notes leading the way for mango, creamed peach and papaya flavors. Rich and honeyed, but with an alluring, shimmering energy through its long finish...

Classed as a Premier Cru in 1855, Suduiraut’s grand vin is made from 90% Semillon and 10% Sauvignon Blanc selected from the finest terroirs of the property. This wine is hand crafted at every stage, revealing remarkable finesse and complexity, and a golden color reminiscent of the sun that made it possible.

With age, the bright gold evolves to a dark amber color. With an extensive life-span, Suduiraut powerfully and harmoniously combines fruit and floral aromas with roasted and candied notes. Its superlative elegance comes from a combination of total opposites: voluptuous texture, mineral freshness, and the gentle warmth of spice notes.

The 2022 Chateau Suduiraut is an exquisite white wine hailing from the prestigious Sauternes region in Bordeaux, France. This wine is a true masterpiece, crafted with meticulous attention to detail by the renowned producer, Chateau Suduiraut.

In the glass, this wine displays a beautiful amber hue, captivating the eye with its rich and inviting color. On the nose, a symphony of aromas unfolds, showcasing a roasted nut profile that is complemented by a strong presence of botrytis. With each swirl, the wine releases enticing scents of roasted apricots, pineapples, and tangerine, all wrapped in a cloak of vanilla and a plethora of spices. These delightful flavors are further enhanced by the sweet embrace of honey, creating an aromatic experience that is both intense and alluring.

On the palate, the 2022 Chateau Suduiraut is concentrated and fresh, with a spicy, chalky texture that adds depth and complexity. The orange, mango, and pineapple notes shine through, delivering their pleasures with racy assurance. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of pure indulgence.

This exceptional wine is made from 100% Semillon, a grape variety known for its ability to produce luscious and complex sweet wines. It is worth noting that this is only the third time in the history of the estate that a wine has been made exclusively from Semillon, making it a truly remarkable offering.

According to esteemed wine critics, the 2022 Chateau Suduiraut has garnered high praise and outstanding scores. With 99 points awarded by Jeff Leve, Jeb Dunnuck, and James Suckling, and 94 points from Vinous and 95 points from Decanter, it is clear that this wine is a true gem in the world of Sauternes.

To fully appreciate the splendor of this wine, it is recommended to cellar it for a few years before indulging in its delights. However, for those who cannot resist temptation, it can be enjoyed from 2025 onwards, with the potential to age gracefully until 2060.

In conclusion, the 2022 Chateau Suduiraut is a white wine of exceptional quality and complexity. It embodies the essence of Sauternes, offering a harmonious blend of flavors and aromas that will transport you to the vineyards of Bordeaux with every sip. This is a wine that deserves a place in any connoisseur's collection, and it is certain to delight even the most discerning palates.
