Score 92-93/100 · James Suckling

A fresh and pretty young Sauternes with well-judged botrytis. Medium-to full-bodied, spicy and crisp. Shows intensity.

The 2017 Château Suau is a bombastic dessert wine that might just be the biggest, baddest sweet wine in the vintage. Offing up a huge nose of caramelized peach, orange blossom, and honey, it’s fat, thick and opulent on the palate, yet holds it together with terrific purity and freshness. This primordial Barsac is going to need a cold cellar but is a beauty!
