Description
The legendary Sauternes house, Ch�teau 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.

Tasting Notes
Illogically, there are two second wines at this estate. This is the richer of the two (the other is Lions). It has intensity, spice, ripe apricot fruit and a smooth, dense texture. Its honey and botrytis notes are just right while the thread of acidity keeps it all in place. Drink from 2019. Score - 93. (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 31, 2017)
