Tasting notes
The 1994 Suduiraut has always had an attractive bouquet that punches above the weight of the vintage's reputation: dried quince and barley sugar, the Sauvignon Blanc impressing upon you more malic fruit, the gooseberries that I have remarked upon before. The palate is straightforward with a citric, Sauvignon Blanc-driven entry, William's pear and a touch of tangy marmalade that is beginning to show some dryness. Drink soon. 96gl/L residual sugar. Tasted from a bottle from my own personal cellar.

About the producer
Among the very best Sauternes estates, Ch. Suduiraut is owned by AXA Millésimes, which also manages Pichon Baron. The team works meticulously to select the finest fruit from its 91 hectares of vines, bordering Yquem. The resulting wines are intensely concentrated, balanced, complex and age-worthy.
