Note di degustazione
Like all the whites this year at Suduiraut, the 2025 Grand Vin Blanc Sec Vieilles Vignes has more Sémillon in the blend. It offers a striking mix of Semillon richness and vibrant energy that is impossible to miss. I especially admire the wine's tension. Pear, dried lemon peel, chalk, mint and dried flowers build into the intense, saline-drenched finish. What a wine. Elevage will be nine months in French oak, 14% new.

66% Sémillon, 34% Sauvignon Blanc. Cask sample. Aromatic with pear and citrus notes. Full on the mid palate but has freshness and drive. Needs to develop a little in the bottle.
Honeyed and fragrant peach and lemons on the nose with some floral elements and almond flecks. Round and succulent with a gorgeous texture but also so clean and precise, sitting on a cool base with touches of vanilla, cream, anise, cumin, bitterness and herbal aspects. I love this. Relatively quiet right now, less fruity and more powerful, mineral and floral, very nuanced. I expect this will grow in stature and flavour, but this is already great. Highest proportion of Semillon in the blend. A yield of 15 hl/ha (could reasonably hope for 25-28hl/ha). One or two tries through the vineyard for the dry wine, same process as for the sweet.

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.
