Critic Scores

99 // The Wine Cellar Insider

"The intense aromatic profile is created from honeyed apricots, pineapples, candied citrus, roasted nuts and saffron. On the palate, the interplay between sweet, spicy and bitter is perfectly framed by the wealth of ripe, very ripe, and overripe pineapples, apricots, vanilla, saffron, oranges, and mango that coat every part of your palate with flavor. The finish starts off with peppery spice before building to its crescendo of sweet, honeyed fruits. While this promises to be fabulous in its youth, the wine can age for decades. The wine was made from 100% Semillon. 13.5% ABV, 4.04 pH, 158 grams per liter of sugar. Drink from 2029-2065. - 97 to 99 Points - Jeff Leve"

99 // The Drinks Business

"(Sauternes; 100% Sémillon; 158 g/l of residual sugar; a final yield of 12 hl/ha; pH 4.04; 13.5% alcohol; tasted at Pichon Baron with Christian Seely). There's almost no first trie in this, so all of the signature freshness and brilliance of this wine comes from fully botrytised grapes (picked in the second and third tries). Glorious. Radiant. Incredibly pure. Fresh almond, frangipane and marzipane, fresh pineapple, scorched pineapple, a little wild strawberry, a little burnt sugar and mandarin rind. Fresh ginger, a little confit ginger, tarte tatin, angelica. This has grace, charm, poise and such a well-distributed natural acidity. I'm in raptures. - 97 to 99 Points - Colin Hay"

98 // James Suckling

"The purity in this Suduiraut is exceptional and made from 100% semillon with dried pineapples, apricots, hazelnuts and spices. Medium-bodied, with plenty of sweetness yet fresh and phenolic texture that frames the wine. pH 3.65, 158 g/L residual sugar. Fantastic. - 97 to 98 Points - James Suckling"

98 // Yves Beck

"A superb bouquet marked by acacia blossoms and rooty nuances with a touch of radish and celery, complemented by white pepper and candied citrus peel. Dense, smooth, and even saline on the attack, the wine shines with energy, breadth, and its ability to highlight details within an exuberant context. This is where it truly shines, like a weightlifter running a 10,000-meter race… with weights, but barefoot! It is tactile, powerful, fresh, and exceptionally persistent. A truly great Suduiraut that will delight its audience with its authenticity and its ability to showcase its incisive qualities. 2030-2100 - Yves Beck"

98 // Vinous

"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. - 96 to 98 Points - Neal Martin"

Description

Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes 2025 stands as a remarkable testament to the heritage and craftsmanship of one of Bordeaux’s most esteemed sweet wine estates. Originating from vineyards replanted in the 17th century after the Fronde uprisings, Château Suduiraut quickly rose to prominence and earned its Premier Cru Classé distinction in the renowned 1855 Classification, solidifying its status among the elite of the Sauternes appellation.

Nestled on deep gravel and sandy clay soils along the Ciron River, the vineyards enjoy a distinctive microclimate that encourages the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). This natural phenomenon intensifies the grapes’ sugars and flavor compounds, giving rise to wines of extraordinary opulence and complexity. The 2025 vintage promises an exquisite balance of luscious sweetness with invigorating freshness, showcasing remarkable precision and a structure built for impressive aging potential.

Offered En Primeur, this release provides exclusive early access to a coveted Bordeaux sweet wine, allowing for the opportunity to secure this exceptional bottling well before it reaches the market. Anticipated to arrive in New Zealand by late 2028, the Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes 2025 is crafted with unwavering attention to detail and dedication to tradition.

This Sauternes exemplifies the classic profile of the region, delivering complex layers of honeyed apricot, vibrant citrus peel, and subtle exotic spices, all framed by bright acidity and a silky texture. Its elegant freshness and refined sweetness make it a luxurious accompaniment to foie gras, blue cheeses, and aromatic Asian cuisine, while also standing proudly as a sophisticated dessert wine in its own right.

Experience a wine of enduring prestige and refinement that captures the spirit of one of Bordeaux’s premier sweet wine estates. The Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes 2025 is destined to become a treasured addition to any collection, celebrated for its harmonious integration of botrytis richness and crisp vitality.
