Tasting notes
The 1985 Suduiraut comes from an appalling Sauternes vintage and it shows. This is just pole-axed by grey rot, light and rather bitter with a dull finish. One of the poorest releases of the decade. Avoid. Tasted at a private dinner in London.

Shockingly light, with straightforward, bland, even innocuous flavors, this fruity yet one-dimensional Suduiraut is disappointing given the reputation of the chateau. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/90.

About the producer

Among the very best Sauternes estates, Ch. Suduiraut is owned by AXA Millésimes, which also manages Pichon Baron. The team works meticulously to select the finest fruit from its 91 hectares of vines, bordering Yquem. The resulting wines are intensely concentrated, balanced, complex and age-worthy.
