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

(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

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

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

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
