The legendary Sauternes house, Château Suduiraut, produces this second wine, Castelnau de Suduiraut, from younger vines. The virtue here is that you get to sample great Sauternes from a classic house without paying first wine prices. Frequently, in vintages such as the hot 2003, the wines created are often on par with the flagship bottlings. This beautifully balanced, sweet wine is a great choice for blue-veined cheeses, foie gras or rich cheesecakes.
