Chateau Suduiraut, 1er GCC, Sauternes 2011

With an intense golden yellow colour, Château Suduiraut 2011 presents a very fresh nose evoking citrus such as orange and lemon, and ripe fruit like yellow peach, enhanced with aniseed and a hint of minerality. The palate reflects the year’s character with a creaminess that is always tempered by great freshness. It offers richness, yet without ostentation; candied fruit, such as lemon, are still apparent, followed by very ripe apricot and vanilla. The finish is rich and long with notes of candied citrus, and extremely fresh – a hallmark of the vintage. Château Suduiraut 2011 is a complex wine, and very supple despite its concentration.
