Château Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes Grand Vin Sec - Sauternes - White - 2016 :

 

Château Suduiraut's Flagship Dry White Wine

The SUDUIRAUT VIEILLES VIGNES is the prestigious dry white (Grand Vin Blanc Sec) from Château Suduiraut, a Premier Cru Classé estate in Sauternes. Crafted from the oldest Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc vines (average age 45 years) on the estate's exceptional gravel terroir, this wine is a testament to the potential of top-tier dry white Bordeaux, offering profound elegance and structure.

Tasting Profile

• Colour: A pale, youthful yellow with brilliant clarity.
• Nose: Intensely fragrant, presenting a sophisticated mix of lime, white flowers, fennel, grapefruit, and a hint of fine woodsmoke from barrel maturation.
• Palate: Beautifully concentrated and balanced, the palate offers textured citrus and white fruit (pear, melon), framed by a seamless integration of oak and vibrant acidity. It is refined, complex, and possesses a mineral-driven, persistent finish.

Serving and Food Matching

A sophisticated, powerful white that demands attention. Serve cool (9-10°C).

• Food Matches: Smoked salmon starters, classic creamy fish pie, roasted chicken with tarragon, or asparagus with hollandaise sauce.
