CRITIC REVIEWS

Orange zest and juice on the nose, rich flowing caramel, honeysuckle, white flowers, white chocolate, grapefruit, lemon drops and wild honey. Unctuous and sweet, a lovely deepening of the sugary lemon, white chocolate, pineapple flavour, but so appealing, so round and balanced, still with bitter edges that dont give this a cloying aspect. Clean and precise, this has been well worked, it’s so appealing in the mouth with juicy acidity but also structure and length and a sense of seriousness in the bitter tang that lingers on the tongue. Structured, sophisticated, nuanced and detailed with a beautiful overall weight. I love the complexity, sheer enjoyment and satisfaction. 50% new oak, 50% one year for 18 months. 137g/l.

The 2020 Suduiraut Pur Semillon Blanc Sec, made from 100% Semillon, is already bottled (not a barrel sample). It offers notions of waxed lemon, honeycomb, and white peaches with hints of lemon grass and oyster shell. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is savory and understated with seamless freshness and a long, mineral-tinged finish.
