Richness and smoothness characterize this great Sauternes with great consistency. Described as " masterful " and rated 19/20 by the Revue du Vin de France .
97/100 pts VINOUS “ The 2016 Suduiraut is fabulous. Crème brûlée, passion fruit, mandarin peel, and exotic floral notes leap from the glass. I marvel at how the Suduiraut can deliver such intense flavors while remaining so graceful and elegant. The 140 grams of residual sugar are beautifully integrated. It is a magnificent wine .” Antonio Galloni
94/100 pts ROBERT PARKER “ The 2016 Suduiraut reveals a spicy bouquet with aromas of licorice, acacia, curry leaves, and exotic fruits mingled with ripe orchard fruits. It is round, with a fruity core perfectly balanced by a gastronomic bitterness and a long, penetrating finish. ” Yohan Castaing
