Note di degustazione
A very fresh nose offers green tropical fruit like unripe mango and limes. The palate leans more towards very very ripe fresh tropical citrus, I heard toffee apple suggested, but there is still fresh acidity. There is not a lot of weight here, but the acidity softens with fig jam on the finish, just about right.

Candied orange, grilled apricot, spice, and a decadent richness all define the 2010 Château Suduiraut, a full-bodied Sauternes with incredible purity and balance and blockbuster length. It brings the richness and depth of the vintage as well as a freshness, purity, and precision that’s only present in the greatest dessert wines. It’s in its early prime drinking window yet has decades of life ahead of it. Drink 2025-2075.
One of the highest points of this vertical tasting, the 2010 Suduiraut reveals a dense, powerful bouquet of ripe apricots, exotic fruit, mango, pineapple, saffron and spices. More solar than the 2009 and with a full-bodied structure, it’s rich and concentrated, layered and seamless with a fleshy core of fruit and stunning controlled power, finishing long and mineral with bright acids. This stunning blend of 90% Sémillon and 10% Sauvignon Blanc, harvested between September 22 and November 9 in five tries, was matured for 20 months in oak barrels (50% new, 50% one year) and contains 145 grams per liter of residual sugar.
90% Sémillon, 10% Sauvignon Blanc. Harvested 22 September to 9 November (5 tris). Yield 20 hl/ha. Aged 20 months in oak barrels (50% new, 50% one year). RS 145 g/l, TA 3.6. Rich and intense but less giving than 2009 at the moment. Unctuous and fat on the palate with plenty of reserve. Misses a little freshness but plenty of matière for ageing. Worth waiting. (JL)
