Château Suduiraut, Premier Cru Classé in 1855, is one of the great historic vineyards of Sauternes, world renowned for its long lived sweet white wines that harmoniously combine fruit and floral aromas with roasted, candied notes. The 2006 vintage is a blend of 96% Sémillon and 4% Sauvignon Blanc and boasts a marvellous 138g/l residual sugar. Bearing the botrytis signature with its deep golden yellow colour and amber tints. On the nose, distinctly roasted character mingles with crystallised fruit (melon, apricot) and spices (vanilla, cloves) together with waxy, citrus peel complexity. Wonderfully pure on the palate with notes of dried figs and spices.

The 2006 Suduiraut was raised in 50% new oak for 18 months, still has that distinctive Tokaji Aszú aroma that I have picked up upon on several previous bottles, attractive in its own Hungarian way. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous opening, quite sharp and pointed, fresh as a daisy and one of the most mineral-driven Suduiraut of the decade. There are touches of white pepper, almond flakes and bitter orange towards the saline finish that lingers in the mouth. This is what you might call a very useful Suduiraut. 143gm/L residual sugar. Tasted at the Suduiraut vertical at the château. Neal Martin1st March 2019
