Description

2001 Château Suduiraut, Sauternes, BordeauxIn 2001 winemaker Pierre Pascaud has produced a quite extraordinary wine that is a real contender for 'wine of the vintage'. With an elegant honeyed nose, this seductive, creamy, opulent wine explodes on the palate with layers upon layers of complex flavours. The sweetness and acidity are in perfect harmony and the finish is breathtaking. A real revelation.

liquorice and cinnamon

controlled bouquet that (pardon the expression) is less extravagant than recent vintages
