A deep golden yellow in colour, Château Suduiraut 2010 shows a first sign of maturity with some amber glints. The nose presents woody, acacia honey, roast apricot and candied notes. On aerating, notes of plum, saffron, almond and green Chartreuse emerge.

The richness of the vintage gives the palate opulence, with flavours of plum, wood and candied fruit. The smooth finish ends with notes of cocoa bean, ginger and vanilla, which energise this opulence. This is a powerful wine - yet without heaviness - which still needs a little more time to fully open up.

90% Sémillon, 10% Sauvignon Blanc aged 50% in new barrels, 50% from barrels of one vintage, for 20 months.

Wine Advocate Review:
One of the highest points of this vertical tasting, the 2010 Suduiraut reveals a dense, powerful bouquet of ripe apricots, exotic fruit, mango, pineapple, saffron and spices. More solar than the 2009 and with a full-bodied structure, it’s rich and concentrated, layered and seamless with a fleshy core of fruit and stunning controlled power, finishing long and mineral with bright acids. This stunning blend of 90% Sémillon and 10% Sauvignon Blanc, harvested between September 22 and November 9 in five tries, was matured for 20 months in oak barrels (50% new, 50% one year) and contains 145 grams per liter of residual sugar. Anticipated Maturity: 2020-2060
