Lions De Suduiraut 2013 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Lions de Suduiraut is the dry white produced by Château Suduiraut, the legendary Sauternes estate in Bordeaux. This 2013 bottling blends Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon into a still (non-botrytized) wine, a departure from the house's famous sweet wines. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon are natural partners in Bordeaux, where the former brings herbaceous snap and the latter adds weight and textural depth.

Expert Reviews
The lighter of the two second wines of classed-growth Suduiraut, this is a more accessible reflection of the richness of the grand vin. At four years old, it's still young, its acidity and crisp lemon flavors contrasting its core of botrytis and delicious fruit. Drink this balanced wine from 2020. (Wine Enthusiast, July 2019)
A bit of bottle maturation has steered this rich, yet lively Sauternes to a very appealing harmony. Plenty of candied-citrus and some cooked-pineapple character, well balanced by the crisp acidity, making this an ideal wine for blue cheese. Drink or hold. Second wine of Château Suduiraut. (James Suckling, January 2018)
The second wine of this famed estate is a modern Sauternes that aims to appeal to younger drinkers. It still shows the classic apricot, honey and marmalade noble rot flavours, but in a lighter, fresher, less unctuous style, to be served chilled. (Decanter, September 2018)
