Sauternes AOC Castelnau de Suduiraut 2016 Château Suduiraut

The Sauternes Castelnau de Suduiraut by Château Suduiraut is produced by a company history of Sauternes, Premier Cru Classé in 1855.

It consists of Sémillon grapes with a small addition of Chardonnay grapes affected by noble rot. The grapes are pressed and the must clarified. Fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels with temperature control (24°C) for 2-3 weeks. The wine then ages for 7 years in French oak barrels for 15 months, with 30% of old barrels from the first wine of the Château and 70% of old barrels from the second wine.

Intense golden yellow in color, it reveals a broad nose, with aromas ranging from ripe yellow fruit to dried fruit, from honey to spices. The sip is sweet and silky, with a very long finish.

Sauternes goes well with blue cheeses and dry pastries.
