Note di degustazione
The 2025 Suduiraut is pure Sémillon, picked mostly after October 10 (there was a first picking of more passerillé fruit that constituted around 10% of the blend). It is mainly from the second trie , with a last picking at the end of October. There were a total of 10 days of picking. This has a fragrant bouquet with wild honey, linseed, saffron and light orange pith scents that blossom in the glass, though I would not describe it as intense, but very pure. The palate is well balanced, with a viscous opening, very pure botrytised fruit and a killer line of acidity. There is no heaviness here, and despite the 158 g/L residual sugar, it feels light on its toes. Oh yes.

A serious and concentrated dry white, the 2025 Château Suduiraut Pur Sémillon is all varietal and still resting in a combination of 43% once-used barrels, 37% in wineglobe, and 20% in new barrels, with plenty of lees stirring. It brings a similar level of class and precision to the Vieilles Vignes, yet with more concentration and richness, and the nose offers gorgeous stone fruits, chalky minerality, minty herbs, and orange blossom. On the palate, it's rich and medium to full-bodied, with a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and a gorgeous finish. Checking in at 13.9% alcohol with a pH of 3.50, this is a tour de force in white wines.
The 2025 Suduiraut is 100% Sémillon picked six weeks later than the dry whites in the three tries, with most of the final blend coming from the last two picks. Tangerine oil, mint, white pepper and passion fruit are some of the notes that grace the palate. The 2025 is aromatic and light on its feet, but it also shows the natural depth and concentration of a vintage with yields of 13 hectoliters per hectare. Residual sugar is 158 grams per liter.
