Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes 2006 (half bottle 375mL) - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Wine Enthusiast -
Very opulent, the wine has a velvet, honeyed texture. This richness translates into the flavors, which are of yellow fruits, hinting at mango with lychee spice. Its density lingers, with freshness coming through at the end.

Wow! It’s a wonderful day when our container from Bordeaux arrives with pristine, ex-Chateau cases of aged Sauternes at a price that crushes the competition. We got both, so we are one happy crew!!

Located close to Chateau d'Yquem, the winery has 90 hectares under vine, and is planted to 88% Semillon and 12% Sauvignon Blanc. They have a long history in Sauternes that dates all the way back to 1580, when Leonard de Suduiraut married Nicole d’Allard. The estate and vineyards were completely renovated at the end of the 17th century by Count Blaise de Suduiraut. The Count, who was the grandson of the founder, hired the designer of the gardens at Versailles to create something truly special for the winery.

Always an incredible overdeliverer (and not even close to d’Yquem pricing!), get enough to keep a few in the cellar -- it will age for decades and more with ease!!

PAIRING IDEAS: Of course, foie gras is the classic pairing, and if you have the inclination, buy some lobes and sear them and go to heaven. BUT, if you’re planning dessert...do a cheesecake. Make one, or buy your favorite, but get the best you can. Maybe with a more exotic cheese or grilled pineapple, or goat cheese...or all those! A perfect pair, for sure.

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Go swellegant. “Fly Me To The Moon” from Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Etta Jones, Harry Connick... You get the idea!

About the Producer

The estate took the name of Suduiraut in 1580 on the marriage of Nicole d'Allard to Leonard de Suduiraut. The chateau was plundered and burned down during the Fronde insurrection, then rebuilt in the XVII century. It was re-named Cru du Roy in the late 18th century on being taken over by a nephew of the Suduiraut family, Jean Joseph Duroy, Baron of Noaillan. The family home then acquired a cartouche featuring the Suduiraut and Duroy coats of arms, which was to give rise to the escutcheon used by Chateau Suduiraut today. On 18 April 1855 the estate was classed as a Premier Cru during the official wine classification programe in the Gironde winegrowing area.
