Winemakers Notes
Under the ownership of AXA Millésimes, run by Englishman Christian Seely, this16th century estate has really fulfilled its potential, firmly establishingitself amongst the top three or four in the region. Its 2005 demonstrates thestylishness of the vintage with its finely perfumed nose, while the palatecombines elegance with an undeniable weight of exotic tropical citrus and whitepeach fruit. This is a brilliantly harmonious, complete wine with a sublimeaftertaste. Drink 2012-2025
What to Expect
The great sweet wines of Bordeaux, Sauternes, are among the most decadent, complex and simply enjoyable wines. Based on a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc that has been infected with the "noble rot", Botrytis Cinerea, Sauternes are rich, honied wines bursting with notes of vanilla, coconut, dried apricots and subtle spice tones. They are usually very sweet and rich with a soft quality to them that makes them appealing in their youth yet they can age and improve for decades. The neighboring village of Barsac frequently makes wines comparable to those of Sauternes.

Outstanding, like drinking liquid gold. Lush apricot, not cloying at all. Love this wine.
The region of Sauternes is famous for making wines that are often described as majestic, rich, wonderfully sweet, liquid gold, and nectar of the gods. Every sip tastes like a million bucks...and when paired with Roquefort terrine or foie gras, priceless! A match made in heaven.Chateau Suduiraut has read more...

Full, bright yellow-gold. Discreet but ripe and rich nose offers apricot, marzipan and honey. Wonderfully plump, sweet and full, with uncommon depth and concentration to its flavors of soft ripe apricot, pineapple and spices.

Berry Bros & Rudd review: 'A complete vintage. It is extremely concentrated with fresh notes of lemonzest and white peach on the nose.

Loads of pear and honey character follow through to a full-bodied palate, with lots of spicy character and a sweet, long finish. Very, very spicy on the finish. Better than 2003, but will it ultimately be better than 2001? Wine Spectator. A Sauternes Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2005 Chateau Suduiraut 750ml
