The Story

Classed as a Premier Cru in 1855, it is made from grapes selected from the finest terroirs of the property. This wine is hand crafted at every stage of its elaboration and reveals remarkable finesse and complexity and a golden colour reminiscent of the sun that made it possible. With age the bright gold evolves to a dark amber colour.
With an extensive life-span, it powerfully and harmoniously combines fruit and floral aromas with roasted and...

Wine Information

1928 Château Suduiraut (Preignac)

Simply a few blameless notes from the 1990s, but quite recently proved to be an agreeable surprise to the members of the Vine Club at the year’s first Rare and Fine wine tasting. Old, dusty bottle with a tight capsule and a branded cork, no sign of label whatsoever. Level was high-shoulder.
Decanted 2 hours. Delectable, warm, golden colour. Very rich, honeyed and sound bouquet with apricot and peach ...

Written Notes

The best wine I have ever tasted, above all the rest.......increadible, and I can almost feel the aftertaste still.......I did not know what it was, served blind. I nailed the producer.......not even close on the vintage.......

1928 Chateau Suduiraut;
Amber colour, golden hue, some crystals, amazing colour. Caramel, aprikots, creme brulee, pineapples, orange, tangerine, ripe lemons, apples, baked pear, raisins, touch of nuts. So complex, it's another meaning. So fresh acidity, such elegance, just perfect balance, and sweetness/ acidity balance is from another world. Not very sweet anymore, just enough to grace the fruit aromas perfectly, tender body, layered and transparent, this was just beyond anything........and what a length and aftertaste, it lasted not for seconds or minutes, we're talking hours......still ther the next morning. (You just do not brush you're teeth with these flavours going on in the mouth....Increadible! 100

Tasted in April 2018 during dinner at Domaine de Chevalier. Amazing 90 years old Sauternes, still fresh, well-composed with great character, acidity,taste, complexity and length. Refined at sophisticated. Broad caleidoscope of botrytised flavours. A real blast from the past.
