Tasted blind, the 2009 Suduiraut offers a head-turning nose, full of clementine, baked apricot and clover honey. Captivating and enveloping on both the nose and palate, this is a glorious vintage for Suduiraut. There is a vibrant tension between its fresh energy and its glorious, mellifluous texture. Interestingly, the first picking began on 17 September and brought in grapes shriveled by the heat, with subsequent rain allowing for good botrytis set and completion of harvest in two subsequent passes concluding on 20 October. This marvelous Suduiraut is composed of 93% Sémillon and 7% Sauvignon Blanc, reaching 14% alcohol and aged in 50% new oak for 18 months.
