Ch Suduiraut 1989

Sweet white wine that is 24 years old! Not an everyday wine. Very slow to open up. At first I was convinced it was bad, it smelled funny although the taste was alright. After a while however it opened up in the glass and turned out to be a decent surprise. If you want Sauternes this is one of the top Chateau's but at a reasonable price compared to some of the other high performing ones. Ch Suduiraut 1988, Sauternes 1989 still exists in the shop Ca 70€ a bottle of the very old ones

Castelnau de Suduiraut 2003, Sauternes

This is the second wine of Ch Suduiraut. Lovely botrytis smell and great sweetness with balanced acidity. Deep golden yellow colour reflecting a warm vintage. Lots of tropical fruit on the nose. Great finish with excellent smoothness. Castelnau de Suduiraut 2003, Sauternes Perfect with foie gras...
