This is always one of the longest living of Sauternes and a personal favourite. Its ageing capabilities sometimes reveal themselves as a slight obscurity in the wine’s extreme youth i.e. Suduiraut can be hard to evaluate in its infancy! I loved the 2007, however: A slightly reticent nose, but long on spice and the fruit an exotic blend of banana, mango and apricot. The palate is nutty-rich and highly structured for the long haul. This is sweet and backward and full of minerals; in fact the finish is laced with dry minerals. There’s a long, steely thrust at the core. Serious stuff! Note taken in primeurs week
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
